wed 9th july 08 at 2pm i had a meeting with my mams doctor from the hospital.
my mams biopsy results showed her cancer was lung cancer and was not curable.
she had the cancer for many months and if she had not of got pneumonia then she would of only lasted a couple of months.
the cancer had spread to her adrenal glands, lots of it in her bones, abdomen and kidneys.
the doctor answered all my questions and was lovely and spent an hour with me and my aunt talking us through everything.
even if the cancer would of been found straight away my mam would still not of been cured.
i feel more as ease now as i could not of spent the rest of my life wondering about things.
there was no trace of cancer in my mams breasts as first thought and her cervix where clear too.
xxx to all my gts friends xxx
i would like to say a great big thank you to you all for all your kind words and support and lovely tributes and candles you have left on my mams site. this site has helped me so much is so many ways and its all down to the lovely people who take time to think of others whilst they are hurting themselves. it proves one thing, that there are good people in this world and i have found you. so once again a big thank you to you all. all my love and hugs always mandy xxxxxxxx
sending all my love to your angels up above xxxxxxxxxx
this site is about my mam linda banks who passed away on 1st aug 07 age 51. my mam lived in farnley,leeds. my mam was the wife of steve, mam to myself (mandy), steven my brother and had two grandchildren luke and charlotte which are my children. my mam had two sisters carol and tess and two brothers alan and terry. my mam passed away to a wicked and cruel killer, cancer.
my mam passed away only four week and five days after we found out she had cancer. it was peacefully in hospital with all her family round her. she just fell asleep. she was so brave through it all and never moaned about not having long to live. she was and still is the best mam ever and is missed and loved so much by all her family. at peace now mam x x x x
my mam was an amazing person who always did right by her family and loved life and never did anything wrong to anyone. she was a tiny lady only being about 5ft and very slim but she had a massive heart. my mam had never been ill up untill about 2 and a half year ago when she started gettin pain in her shoulder. her doctor told her she had frozen shoulder and it would get better in time. no one ever thought anything of this as you tend to beleive what your doctor tells you. as the past couple of years went on my mams shoulder got worse and the pain spread to her neck and arm. she was back and forth to the doctors who just put her on stronger pain killers. it was only a couple of months before my mam died that the pain got so bad that she had to leave her job and she also found it hard to continue with her house work. my mam started been sick alot and spent alot of time in bed. my mam got thinner and thinner as the weeks went by. eventually her doctor sent her to the chest clinic for an x ray which showed she had nodes on her lungs. by this time my mam was on morphine at home and still been sick alot. we was all watching her waste away and get sicker by the minute untill a doctor who came out to see my mam said she needs to be in hospital. once admitted she then had a scan which showed she had cancer in her breast, lung, liver and kidney and later in her pelvis. oh my god what a bomb shell. i knew in my own mind even before my mam went to hospital that she had cancer and it would take her life. dont ask me how i knew but i just did. i remember the night like it was yesterday june 29th 07 when my dad rang me and told me about the scan results. i never imagined she would have cancer in so many places. my world fell apart as did all my familys. we had to keep this horific news from my 84 year old nanna who is my mams mam as she was in hospital having the top part of her lung removed due to cancer. this was hard as it was my nannas daughter and she had a rite to know but it would only set her back and we needed her to get better. my mam spent 3 weeks in hospital and we all knew that there was no treatment for her. how brave my mam was. i think we was all more scared than she was. she had a biopsy to try find out where the cancer started but it did not show up enough results. after my mams 3 week stay in hospital she was allowed home for a few days where she continued to be really ill. she then went back into hospital for another biopsy which they took from her limph gland on her chest to yet again try and find out where the cancer started. this stay in hospital was for 3 days then she came home which was on wed 25th july. by the monday my mam was finding it hard to breath and coughing blood up. i rang the doctor who sent an ambulance for her and she and my dad went back to hospital. all the time my mam spent in hospital my dad was always by her side and did everything he could for her. on tues morning my dad phoned me early and said i think you should come to the hospital as your mam has had a bad night. oh no i thought this is it i am losing my mam. me and my brother rushed to the hospital to find my mam with an oxygen mask on. we both broke down. how could this be happening to our mam. we was told later that day that my mam had pneumonia and it was very serious and that if the antibiotics didnt start to work she would only have a matter of days. i knew this was the end. all the family turned up at the hospital to be with my mam and i think in there own mind to say there last goodbyes and give my mam one last kiss and tell her how much they loved her. it was very heratbraking. i sat all day till late at night just praying for god to take my mam as i could not stand to watch her so helpless and gasping for breath hooked up to morphine and not been able to help her. me and my brother went home that night and my dad and my auntie and uncle stayed the night with my mam. i returned the next morning with my brother and there had been no change with my mam. i must say that all the way through this my mam still knew her own mind and knew what she was doing. as my dad and auntie and uncle had been there all night thay decided to nip home to get a change of clothes. while they were gone my mam took a turn for the worse, i thought this is it i am watching my mam die and there is nothing i can do about it. my brother had rang my dad to tell him to hurry back and luckily he had just arrived at the hospital. i was rubbing my mams head telling her i loved her and that she was the best mam in the world and telling her it was ok for her to go to sleep, at this point i thought she only had a couple more breaths in her untill i said to her my dads coming mam. it was like she had a complete turn around and that she was not going to die after all. her breathing went back to normal and i thought it had been a false alarm. then my dad rushed into the room and said everything he wanted to say to mam and he kissed her and she even returned the kiss and then she just fell asleep. i had ran out of the foom as i was very freaked out by having to watch my mam die twice, well thats how it felt. i went back into the room after the nurses had taken the drip and tubes out of my mam and she looked so peaceful and free of pain that it was like a sort of relief, no more torture, no more feeling helpless and my mam free of the pain she had been in for over 2 years without anyone knowing she had cancer. my mam did not stand a chance with this illness and it certainly was not fair. i never once heard my mam moan about anything during the last few weeks of her life and she was just so brave and i dont know how she did it. i have all the love in the world for you mam and i think you always knew this and i would of give anything in the world for it not to have been you. all my love forever till we meet again mam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
just a bad dream by luke banks(grandson)
i go to bed,i wake and it just seemed like a bad dream but then it hits you right in the face,why could it not of been a bad dream. i have the dream every night,idont know why,i just wish you were here by my side every day,every night by my side,in the morning in the evening for the rest of my life. but now your gone i dont know what to say so i will just say how i feel. now your at the gates of heaven looking down, i am just your little crown now your gone. its like been hit by a train but worse. every night i look at your picture,break down and ask why he took you, all i want to do is die. your probably in heaven trying to tell me that one day you will see me and then that broken heart of mine will fix back together like the pieces of a jigsaw and it wont hurt anymore now i am back at your door. now all i have left of you is a picture that i have on the wall. when i see that picture i feel safe,that picture has me in your arms, just a new born child. your smile and your laugh cheered me up when i was down. well now all i can say is that one day i will see you again and that will be the day i die. i go to bed,i wake and it just seemed like a bad dream but then it hits you right in the face,why could it not just of been a bad dream. love you forever nanny, kisses always luke xxxxxxxxxx
I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below.
With tiny lights like heavens stars
reflecting on the snow,
the sight is so spectacular
please wipe away your tears
for i am sharing Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year
I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir here.
I have no words to tell your
the joy their voices bring
Its far beyond description
to hear the angels sing
I know how much you miss me
i see the pain within your heart
but i am not so far away
We really aren't apart
So be happy for me loved ones
you know i hold you dear
and be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year
After all `love` is the gift
more precious than pure gold
It was always more important
in the stories Jesus told
Please love and keep each other
as my Father said to do
For i can't count the blessings
or the love he has for you
So have a gentle Christmas
and wipe away those tears
for i am spending Christmas
with the Lord this year.
We live a short while on earth below,
Reluctant to die, for we do not know
Just what dark death is all about,
And so we view it with fear and doubt.
Not certain of what is around the bend,
We look on death as the final end
To all that made us mortal beings,
And yet there lies beyond our seeing
A beautiful life so full and complete
That we should leave with hurrying feet
To walk with God by sacred streams
Amid beauty and peace beyond our dreams.
For all who believe in the risen Lord
Have been assured of this reward,
And death for them is just graduation
To a higher realm of wide elevation.
For life on earth is a transient affair,
Just a few brief years in which to prepare
For a life that is free from pain and tears,
Where time is not counted by hours or years.
For death is only the method God chose
To colonize heaven with the souls of those
Who by their apprenticeship on earth
Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth.
So death is not sad, it’s a time for elation,
A joyous transition, the soul’s emigration
Into a place where the soul’s safe and free
To live with God though eternity.
~ Helen Steiner Rice ~
With Love always Isabelle
Memory
Memory is a melody
Replicated in semitone
A da capo performed in diminuendo
the last dying note vanishing, unnoticed
And we wish
for the melody
not to pass out of existence
but to transfer to another space
where it obtains
forever
Sending lots and Lots of LOVE
Stay close to your loved ones whom miss you so very much
Love Isabelle
I Shall Remember You
I shall remember you for as long
as there are fields of snow
And there are flowers in the ground
with strength to grow.
As long as there are stars above
and moonbeams on the sea,
And just as long as there are songs
of love and memory.
I shall remember you today
and dreams of you tonight,
And look for you tomorrow when
the sun begins to light.
Whatever season, month or year
this much will be the same,
The special sound of joy will be
the mention of your name.
I shall remember you for as long
as there are earth and sky.
And all eternity
may it take to say goodbye.
Love Liz, Stuart's mum x

FOR MONDAY
Sad are the hearts that love you,
Silent the tears that fall.
Living our lives without you,
Is the saddest part of all.
FOR TUESDAY
The Golden Gates stood open,
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
FOR WEDNESDAY
May the God of love and mercy
Care for our loved one who is gone,
And bless with consolation
Those who are left to carry on.
FOR THURSDAY
Our family chain is broken,
Nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one
The links shall join again.
FOR FRIDAY
Each night we'll shed a silent tear,
As we speak to you in prayer,
To let you know we love you
And just how much we care.
Take a million tear drops,
Wrap them up in love,
Then ask the wind to carry them,
To you in heaven above
FOR SATURDAY
There comes a time for all of us
When we must say goodbye,
But memories of those we love
Live on and never die.
Although the curtain falls at last,
Is that a cause to grieve?
The future life is brighter still
If only we believe.
So trust in God’s eternal care,
And when the Master calls,
We’ll know a fairer world’s beyond,
Although the curtain falls.
FOR SUNDAY
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow,
My life's been full, I savoured much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief,
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.
So come close to me my family,
Let me whisper in your ear,
I have not really left you
And if you try, you'll feel me near

The Balm Of God's Love
by M.S.Lowndes
When we lose someone we love
The loss seems too great to bear
God sends us friends to comfort us
To show that He deeply cares
But in the dark hours of the night
When there’s nobody else around
When we feel the saddest and loneliest
It’s there God’s love can be found
It’s like a soothing, healing balm
To soothe our broken hearts
The healing oil poured over us
That flows into every part
We can rest secure in God’s love
And know He’s by our side
He holds us when we feel as though
A part of us has died
love God
We can know that God will listen
When we just want to talk
And when we feel we need to cry
We can share it with the Lord
For He is always waiting there
Ready with arms open wide
As we pour out the hurt within
He pours His love inside
Our Father above loves us so much
And will never leave us alone
He will not forsake us in our need
To face this on our own
He comforts us and strengthens us
And rubs us with His balm
And as the dawn breaks through the night
We’ll awake in His loving arms.
Sending lots of Love Always thank you for all your love and kindness ....
So Much Appreciated
With Love Always
Isabelle

Friday
I'm thinking of those golden days,
When you still walked by me...
And shared yet still this life on Earth
Which was not long to be.
The flowers upon this lonely world
Were still fragrant in the light...
The sun still shone, the stars still glowed
And peaceful was each night
.
And still between the darkness
And the dawn of each new day
There is still that moment when
The sorrow's held at bay.
Saturday
When you look into the sky
And see a shining star
Think of me and send a kiss
I'm never very far
When you see the moonlight
Dancing on the sea
Feel a kiss brush on your cheek
That’s a kiss from me
When the sun is bright upon the fields
And there's flowers everywhere
If you look a little closer
You'll see me over there
When the snow is falling hard
And sparkling on the ground
Feel the flakes upon your face
And know that I'm around
When you see a glistening raindrop
Or the grass all covered in dew
Don't let your heart feel heavy
Just remember 'I LOVE YOU'
Sunday
TO LOSE SOMEONE CLOSE
♥ To lose someone you love is hard to bear
To lose your child is beyond compare
Whether the child is a daughter or son
Each one of them is a precious one ♥
♥ Your children can never be replaced
Every one of them has their own special place
Your heart is heavy it feels like lead
You don’t want to believe your child is dead ♥
♥ You don’t think the pain will ever go away
No matter what other people may say
No one knows just what to say to you
You need their help to see you through ♥
♥ Life it seems so unfair
You wish your child could still be there
Your memories fill your heart and head
You remember all the things they said ♥
♥ Life is for living and you must go on
You pretend each day they have not gone
Until you meet them once again
You will learn to live through this terrible pain ♥

* *♥* Simply Put. *♥* *♥*
Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*
Sending all the family lots of Love
Always
Isabelle
