I kept meaning to email her to ask how the appointment had gone, but somehow never got round to it. I suppose I just assumed everything would be OK.
A couple for weeks ago Jenny (on the left in the picture) phoned me to say Lesley was told in November that she only had six months. Jen had seen her, and as an experienced nurse, she was certain Lesley would not make it that long.
Lesley died yesterday. She was 55. I was longing for her to make it to her birthday on St Patrick's Day, but in the end the cancer was too strong for her.
She leaves behind a husband, Pete, and her elderly mother, Joy.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I lost 2 grandparents to cancer and no matter what age they are, it's always hard, but to lose someone at only 55 is just awful! Please except my condolences.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Having lost relatives to cancer I know how horrible it is..my sympathy to everyone
You and her family have my
heart felt sympathy.
Cancer always seems so
indiscriminate and cruel.
I had two close friends
taken by cancer in one
year, both in their 40's.
They are in my thoughts
often as I am sure your
friend will be in yours.
You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies, Val. As you know, we (me and my good friends) lost Kerry in 2008, and Robbie, before that. Both were cancer-related. Please accept a big, virtual hug from across the pond ...
Oh Val, I'm so sorry for your loss! I so hope for the day that "Cancer"is a word of the past.

So sorry to hear about your friend, Lesley. I've had several members of my family die of cancer. It's a horrible disease.
Condolences to you and to all who knew and loved her.
Late seeing this, but, as Bobby would say, still 'sorry for your loss'.
I'm sooo sorry, Val. Cancer sucks.
i never know what to say when sad things happened; so just take a big hug from me.
Very sorry to hear.........
