Bee's Journey

This is for the many many people who've been following Bee's Journey, all the way through her diagnosis and her treatment.
Bee has asked me to put an update on here for you as she isn't well enough to do it herself. She told her daughter I'd know what to say and I wish I had her confidence. Anyway, here goes... Bee started getting awful headaches and loss of balance about three weeks ago and very sadly was recently told that these symptoms were a result of the cancer spreading to her brain. She has decided to treat the symptoms only.
I spoke to her not long ago and she told me how much it's meant to her to have such wonderful support from you, and how good it's felt that perhaps by writing through it all, she might be helping others with her insights.
I know she's very keen to publish a pamphlet of her journey - mainly for her family, but I'm sure we can get a few more printed. We'll keep you updated on its progress (if anyone knows a good printer or could help in another way do please email me).
I don't know if she will be well enough to come back, but for the moment I'm sure she could do with your thoughts/prayers as she goes through this hard time.
I know she'd want to thank you all for being there.

Distressing news about a writer I have always admired and who has given me a lot of support on this site.
She did me the honour of being the first guest on my website and and I remember her amiable and cheerful disposition.
Many thanks , Bee, for the joy that your writing has provided.

Bee contacted me a few days ago and gave the awful news.
We have known each other for several years and we have been corresponding because I went through a chemo course five years ago and wanted to support her. I will continue to give what support I can and of course wish her all the very best.

My hopes and prayers for the best
Reading through this and then all the comments has really touched me deep. I know the feeling of losing a loved one to cancer. But before he died my dad told me what kept him going was the support and love from his family. And from what i can tell this website is just one big family. I might be new here but i very much support anyone fighting cancer. So best of luck to you. I pray everything can turn out for the best.

Hi
Hi
I hadn't realised this was posted, so am only seeing it now, but I had heard from Bee with her news before. If I can help anyway with the booklet, I will be happy to. She was the person who introduced me to this site, and kept me going through the hard times in my life. I wish her hard fight had worked to give her more time. Thinking of you, Bee, and praying for you, as always.

I am so sorry for Bee's news. It is so sad but we must get her work printed and out there.
Have you considered approaching the Maggie's centre? We don't have Maggie's over here but they were very supportive of my cancer book. Tenovus in Wales also promotes writing through cancer and has produced a book of patients' writing. I will ask around.
