I don't know if anyone will recall her posting but we were put in touch through this site and thanks to Chrissy who mailed me that Carol needed help, she could'nt get herceptin in Scotland and was already stage iv so wanted to move to her husband's home in Ireland.
I was glad to help and we became firm friends and I visited her in hospital and kept in touch throughout the next two years until she sadly passed.
Carol was the bravest lady I ever met and taught me so much, this disease stole so many years of life from her and her two young children.
I'm remembering her with fondness this week as her first Anniversary comes up and am very thankful to have have know this special lady and made a differnce to her and her family's life...albeit for a short time.
Carol was buried under a tree overlooking a lake deep in the countryside, her house over looked the cemetary.
I was glad to meet her husband and children who surprised me by knowing exactly who I was and said " You're Tricia from her2" !!!!
I just wanted to take a moment to share a special memory and remind everyone just what a special site this is...it really can change lives and did for Carol
