To my former customers, and those that stumble across this page.

I had the privilege of meeting this lovely little boy and his amazing family on a Campervan trip to the Swansea area in 2022. We both had the same cancer - just 1 in a million get it.

I don't have the same faulty gene as Morgan, his sister or father (Li Fraumeni) but have another inherited faulty gene (Lynch Syndrome) which was the cause of my first cancer Adrenal (not tested for the faulty gene at the time, as only 2-3 % of cases are associated) and subsequently my next cancers Ovarian & Endometrial. I am very lucky to have survived all three (so far!), and now under surveillance for life as I am at risk of others.

It is estimated that 1 in 400 people in the UK have Lynch syndrome but just 5% are aware they are living with the condition. It is primarily associated with Bowel and Endometrial Cancers.

This isn't a post about feeling sorry for myself, I never have.

It's a post about not being afraid to get genetically tested if you or a close family member have ever had cancer that is potentially hereditary.

Having regular surveillance, preventative surgery or sometimes simple daily medication (in my case low dose aspirin to prevent bowel cancer) is better than having cancer - or losing your life or a family member to the disease

Ask questions of the professionals, do your own research and most importantly -
Be brave! It could save your life, or that of a loved one.

Thanks for reading to the end.

Morgan was diagnosed with cancer aged two. His parents describe him as a laid back, happy boy, and a devoted big brother. Morgan sadly died just before his ...

For my former customers with children. This is a wonderful place. If the weather holds out there are plenty places for a sit down too and a small sheltered area with a self service café

This gentleman is guaranteed to brighten anyone's day when shopping at my local Tesco, or even out an about in Mold Town. A true superstar! Equal credit also needs to be given to his colleague of similar stature who has worked on both the tills and the aisles for a similar number of years.

Received this email today from Change.org.

JESS'S RULE

Nearly half a million people signed the petition.

For those of you who perhaps don't know the story, Jess consistently went to her GP and got told she had long Covid. She knew something was wrong - but by the time she found out her true diagnosis it was too late.

She had Stage IV cancer and died not long after.

Having suffered from 3 cancers myself, I know how important it is to advocate for yourself.

I've also known (and lost) people in not so dissimilar circumstances.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP. JESS'S RULE NOW MEANS THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO A SECOND OPINION.

RE: Closure of Mold Bus Station toilets.

As I have a close relative with continence issues who regularly uses the bus services from Mold station, it's very important to me that these services remain open.

Please consider signing the petition, even if you are not directly affected.

There are lots of people out there that have continence issues whether prostate, urinary or bowel related. Not forgetting females that suffer from severe bleeding problems.

One day it could be you, or one of your relatives that needs to use the loo to avoid embarrassment.

I always used to let my customers, or their children use the shop toilet if they were caught short, but not all businesses do.

Please share

Thanks

P.S. Credit to local lady Sue Price for creating the petition.

Stop the planned closure of the public toilets at Mold Bus Station, Flintshire
