What with all the FANTASTIC news we've been getting here's some more cheery stuff!

Seems to be some kind of 'week' every other and this week is Sarcoma Awareness week.

3 weeks ago today my younger brother died aged 34 of Sarcoma so a bit of sharing is the least I could do for these nice people trying to beat it.

Get aware and stay healthy people

Really sorry to hear about your brother. A teacher of mine at school went through it a few years ago, and came out the other side (just). I must admit that before he was diagnosed, I'd never heard of it.

Definitely a really worthy cause to be promoting awareness of.

Thanks. That's good that your teacher made it. It really is a *******. And, no, I had never heard of it before either.

Again I have never heard of this condition before, until now.
Sorry to hear about your younger brother, I hope he was not in too much pain and lived his life to the full.

Thank you. He was very f****** brave, and up until the last couple of months was still living a good life.

Very sad to hear about your brother WC.

I'm a big fan of the band Camera Obscura, and their keyboard player ,Carey Lander tragically died of this illness last year.

Good on you for raising awareness of this illness.
