Dear Mel,
I am so very sorry for this diagnosis. We all care about you, your relative, and your family. It doesn't matter what part of the world you are from. We all care. People here are from all over, and from what I have discovered, there are a sizable number of people from Great Britain, Australia, and Canada. Everyone here is amazingly caring and supportive. Please remember that you and your family members are not alone.
Sincerely,
Laura.
