just before Christmas my wife went to the G.P. with a dry cough that just wouldn't go away, 7 weeks later we were told she has terminal cancer and between 3 and 6 months to live.
She is having chemo at the moment with a hope it will give us a few extra months but the treatment is certainly palliative rather than curative. The idea not being more than 30 minutes away from home is in case her temperature goes up, she needs to go to hospital.
After 40 years together it's a bit of blow but we are trying to make the most. So my advice to "Physicalperfection" is CRUISE / HOLIDAY / Just do it, no knowing what is round the corner.
This subject (read, R.E.A.D. 's wife) has been continued in another more relevant thread. See post #745 onwards https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/14920-ailments-aches-pains-lets-hear-them-here/?page=30

Richard Coleman, then, perhaps?! Miss Allsopp's saying was "5 star choss" (as in chaos). I did French O and A Level so she taught me for a number of years and she was a lovely person and a good teacher
God bless Miss Allsopp - I found her such a nice, kind person - always wished she taught me French instead of Miss Betts

Read You must have been in the same year as me. I remember Mr Bland but dropped Biology as soon as poss, because I hated it. The other DS teacher was Miss Donaldson, later Mrs Payne. In such an academic school, she used to really annoy us by saying things like "You'll never get a man, girls, unless you can cook!"
Phillip Stott was in my class for 1st and 2nd year, but no idea what happened to him. Think he would be described as a geek, these days!
Mr Stone (Art) - anyone remember him, although I was rubbish at art I must have thought a lot of him as I gave a lot of my time up mixing cement for the pond.
Yes Annswabey Miss Donaldson - should have been a looker, not sure why not but never liked her. I remember (Ms) Sandra Clarke (Geography) wore shorter skirts than most, she was a real dictator and always gave homework to write up neat from rough jotter! I think I was in the same class as Philip Stott, but maybe from year 3 - owe him appologies, my dry sense of humour was a little cutting for someone like him - yes, he was a geek, but I bet he grew up to be a gentleman.
There are many names but Sue Ross, Gillian Bayes, Philip Cope, Rodney Constantine, Tony Dexter, Fiona Mahon, Jackie - can't remember her last name but she seemed older than most girls even at 12!
The German teacher (male) do you remember his name? Took German for one year only, we really didn't gel!

I have scan read the comments and articles about BGS, seen lots about Mr (Willy) Williams, Miss Betts (yes, I agree back in 1968 seemed awfuly old) Miss Tomlinson (who taught my sister) Fruit Robinson (I wonder if he is still giving out detentions - or perhaps I was just born bad) Mrs Beelby (what a love) can't remember the younger teacher who worked with her '70 - 72 Mr Jacobs (old school gent) Mr Bristow (glad he got head ship even if acting) Peter Hutchinson (RIP) no mention of David Bland (Biology) does anyone else remember him, to me he was far from bland, he (and many girls) sparked my interest in biology :-)
Fron the intake of 1968 students, does anyone remember Philip Stott, always wondered if he became a scientist (perfectly suited back then)?

Being the newbie I am to N.S. I couldn't work out how to reach out to Physical Perfection to tell him to get on with life as you never know what tomorrow will bring.
Obviously at the moment time with my wife and family come ahead of time I would normally have spent on N.S. so that is really why I had missed this conversational thread. The outpouring (if that is the correct word) from you all has really
surprised me, people we've never met actually feel for us - there is hope for humanity you lot! I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and please don't feel sorrry for us (I'm certainly not looking for that) take heart, as I've said before if this (and many other) sad situations like this prove (Commo will agree I am sure) anything can happen, no guarantees on tomorrow DO IT and DO IT NOW .
My wife is still with me, we're now three months into the three to six month prognosis we were given at the start, if anyone can prove the medics wrong its my Julie, she's a strong woman so here's to the next year!
