I was watching the coverage of Jane Tomlinson’s funeral today and I related to so much of what Her husband had to say about her. Jane was diagnosed with incurable, advanced metastatic breast cancer in August 2000. She challenged this disease until the end . She went against her oncologists wishes and did the iron man which is running,swimming, cycling and lasts for 16 hours. She said that having a terminal condition didn’t mean your life had ended and she proved to a lot of people what was possible with determination and courage. I think she was right, I feel I have a value for life now due to having the diagnosis as I don’t take things for granted any more. I, as many others, have been inspired by Jane.

I would like to express my sympathy to the family and say thankyou to a very inspirational lady who will help me cope with my illness. She has shown me that I can do what ever I want to do.
