Emma Litva-Bailey replied to sarah smith's discussion 'losing someone you love'
Hi Sarah,
It's been 2 years since my mum passed away and 2012 will be the third. I'm still not over it. I have to stop myself crying when I think of her most of the time. And that's OK! Because she was my mum and I have a right to…
Starting Off
Hi there,I thought I should introduce myself a bit.My name is Emma, and I am 13 years old. Don't be put off by my age. I have joined No Surrender because my mum, Andrea Litva-Bailey (some of you may know her), used to come on her a lot. She used to love it on here as it was a comfort to her, knowing that she wasn't going it alone. She has a breast cancer. It became dormant for a period of time, and doctors thought that it had gone completely but it hadn't and it came back more aggressive then…See More

Planning my own funeral
I've decided to start working on planning my funeral. I had a look on the calender and have realised that technically speaking, i've got 6 more months. Now i know exactly how imprecise medicine is in terms of predicting death, but i feel ready now and i don't really want to leave it all to my family. I come up with a few 'rules' to help me design my fun-eral and i would like your ideas as well.
1. It is a 'fun' -eral not a funeral. People must try to laugh at least once during my… Continue

diagnosis and treatment
I was diagnosed with Stage IIIc, Grade 3 Ovarian Cancer in April 2008, turned 32 in May and had extensive abdominal surgery removing all non vital organs and tissue. Residue was left behind and in June I was also diagnosed with Breast Cancer. That same month I travelled to Italy to have a Laparoscopy and remove the residual left behind and other disease found in the abdomen. I am also being treated with Sodium Bicarbonate and have a tube inserted into the abdomen to self adminster the solution… Continue

Tzar and No Surrender
Dear all
I cant imagine the pain you all have, but as a good friend of Jason's who saw him and his fight for life. I want you all to keep fighting. I own an artisan deli in Radlett Herts and if we can help at Tzar with dietry foods that may help fight the fight do let me know? Jason always kept pushing, as what else is there to do. Sometimes life seems hard, there are no buts. Just keep fighting and a positive mental attitude does help.
Any member of this site should make themselves… Continue

Cancer’s daughter
The new member to the family
When I had got home from a long day or what felt like a long day of school, I had no idea of what had happened during those 6 hours. I got in and my Mum and my Step-dad (who I call Mark) sat me down and said they had some very sad news. I could feel the sadness in the air, and then it hit me. It hit me like a punch in the gut. My Mum had felt a lump and had gone to see a doctor the next day. He then sent her to a special… Continue
