2 Feb 2010 - I'm sure that everyone has their lives touched by cancer at some point.  I'm not sure why I felt the need to write this really.  I guess it's just in support of the production of "Wit".  Some of my friends 'can't face' watching this play - it will hit raw nerves, I understand that... but what a shame.  Sue Horrocks does a  fantastic job of endearing  the main character to the audience.  The support cast are convincing in this sensitive drama too.  I know this because:
  • My sister lost her best friend to ovarian cancer - the victim was 30 and had to leave behind her 5 year old daughter.
  • My first experience was to lose my Mum when she was 47;  I was 22.  She was a breast cancer statistic, although it was finally liver failure that ended her battle.  Mum had four days in hospice care before she died.  I was with her as her body conceded defeat.
  • >My father is currently battling the later ravages of 'complications' from prostate cancer. He is almost 78 now.. these closing indignities are a lot for him to handle.
  • My cousin has just been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.  Her eldest daughter is to marry this year on her grandpa's 85 birthday...my cousin may not see this day but she went to help choose a wedding dress with her daughter.  Her speech is slurred from having her brain-cells 'nuked' by radiotherapy.  The ladies in the shop treated her badly as they assumed she was drunk.  (No purchase was made there).
  • All cases are not hopeless: a friend of mine is surviving after a double mastectomy, and her hair has grown back again!
  • I was diagnosed with level II cervical cell changes and had cryosurgery on these when I was 34.  My first daughter was about to turn 1.  I remember thinking not so much "Why me?" but "Why now?"   Thankfully I have been clear since, I am about to turn 45.  I receive alternating annual breast scans or mammograms here in Cayman because of my Mum's history.  My sister in the UK isn't entitled to even a baseline mammogram until she is over 50.  Well done Cayman Health Services! 

 To anyone thinking of watching the show... please do.  Please support your local Hospice.  And please, live not in fear but in hope. (Name withheld by request)

5 Feb 2010 - My boyfriend and I came to see W;t last night and we were very, very impressed. I loved the performance and was both surprised and moved by the performance. Of course the leading lady was amazing, but I have to say that the nurse, Susie, stole the show. She really made you believe that the lady was sick. Due to the fact that I often hide behind the veil of 'I'm busy' (which really means I'm lazy), I never take the time to write and send my thanks, appreciation and congratulations, but in this instance I really could not just let it pass. Thank you so much for putting on such an amazing performance in the Cayman Islands. It is much appreciated. I look forward to the next show! - PB
