Sad news

We have heard this week that Peter, the man we met at Christie's in November, has died after a very brave fight against advanced kidney cancer. His wife Margaret's research put mine to shame - they travelled to Mexico, Turkey and the USA (as well as the Christie Hospital) in search of a cure. Sadly it was not to be. Like Bill, Peter lived for less than 2 years after diagnosis and was in pain for much of that time.

Once again we realise how lucky we have been - and once again we have raised a glass to the memory of one of our "cancer friends". We will remember Peter imparting all they had learned and been through, with kindness and humour - he had a lovely smile, which would spread across his face as he spoke. Our thoughts are with Margaret and the family at this very painful time.
