news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/6655181.stmhow many of you have thought this?? be honest, i have on more than 1 occasion, theres no way a terminal cancer patient could manage this, and also a terminal cancer patient wouldnt be going through painful chemotherapy, a terminal cancer patient wouldnt be galavanting round the world doing marathons and such....she'd be at home with her children

How can you judge someone like that and how do you know what she is capable of? She's an inspiration to anyone who has been affected by serious illness

Isn’t terminal a by word for ‘can not be cured’ though? The rigours of the disease may not be as intense as we perceive ‘terminal’ at the minute but it doesn’t mean she will be cured.
To be honest I was more taken aback by the comment about what she should and should not be doing

If you say so. Seems to me though she has the full support and involvement of her family with the training and she has done a great job at raising awareness. The abuse she has received from these callers (I get Yorkshire TV and saw the item) is callous and beneath contempt
But I don't intend to fall out over it, you're entitled to your opinion

She has been a lucky one to get a lot more time than expected and has made the most of it and maybe that's why she's still going! |

Won’t be any falling out mate, don’t worry  Apologies for coming across a bit strongly Yeah it was on Yorkshire last night, for some reason I pick it up in my room (we get East Mids Today in the living room though!). They played a tape of one of the calls and it made me so angry. I can see your point of view, and in fairness I don’t know the ins and outs but I do find her a very inspiring lady. She may have lived longer than expected but some people do get the ‘rub of the green’ with cancer, others obviously are not so ‘lucky’ |

And who are you to make decisions for someone else? What others do is their business and theirs alone. Whether she is "terminal" or not she has done loads for people who suffer from Cancer and has done loads to raise awareness. To be honest I was more taken aback by the comment about what she should and should not be doing i really think she should be with her family thats all, and not training for marathons |

As has been said, she's lived much longer than expected and in doing so, is doing everything she possibly can to help others be able to live as long as she is by raising money for charity. I can't actually believe that people actually doubt her illness. |

As some know i have Crohns. If i sit around on my arse all day doing fuck all i feel alot worse. If i go walking,weight training etc i feel top of the world. Excercise is a great way to fend off the nasties that lurk around trying to make us ill. Just as long as you don't go jogging on the hard shoulder of the M1. have to agree with GT on this one!

There you go  I guess you can either sit on your arse and wallow in self pity, or get out there and help others, and indeed yourself and that's what she's doing, selfless good deads. |
