Having to postpone my Camino

[Trish MacGregor]

Hello everyone. Trish here. Just thought I'd let you all know that I'm having to postpone my early September Camino. My sister has been diagnosed with cancer and I need to be here with her. Thank you all so much for your help and advice with planning my trip. And for all your support and kind words over this last year.
Cheers, Trish xx

Trish, I am so sorry to hear your news. I hope and pray your sister responds well to treatment and makes a full recovery. You will never regret being there for her. When my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer, my sister called or texted me every day. Her support meant so much to me. The Camino will be there for you when you are able to return to it. May God bless you and yours.
Best regards,
Mary

Hi Trish, I am sorry to hear your news and hope that all will be well. The Camino will be there to do again.

So sorry to hear your news. There are others here who have had to postpone walking so they could care for their families. Or prayers are with them and will now be with you. I hope all goes as well as it can. The Camino will wait and be an even more meaningful experience when you do go.

Oh Trish, a tough time for you and your family. The gift of love is such an easy decision when a family member needs help, and when the time is right for you to walk the Camino you will. I hope there is treatment for her that prevents suffering and restores her to good health.

Trish, so sorry to hear this news. You're doing absolutely the right thing, and it will mean so much to your sister to have you close by while she is going through (and overcoming) this. Sisters are precious things. I'll be setting off on my Camino early September, and I'll be thinking of you and your sister as I go - you will both be in my prayers. As others have said, the Camino will be waiting for you when the time is right. Arohanui Trish, and kia kaha.

Trish, my wife was found to have cancer during selective surgery, non related. The docs gave Ida two months to two years....max. With a combination of strong family support and a desire to live a continued meaningful life...she was with us for nine wonderful years. Holding thumbs for your sister.

Trish - so sorry to hear your news but the path you'll be walking with your sister will be far more precious. When I was diagnosed I hadn't spoken to my sister for nearly 10 years... but I had to tell her to get tested so I wrote to her. Almost her first words were "do you want me to come and stay and look after you."

She lived in the UK then but she moved to France (near me) a year ago... and we're as close as we ever could be.

I hope your sister makes a full and swift recovery and maybe she'll join you and walk too another time.

Sorry to hear your news as well LesBrass. Good luck.

Sorry to hear your news as well LesBrass. Good luck.

Al, mine was a couple of years ago... I'm cancer free now and feeling good... which is why I'm walking

(sorry... I dont think I worded my first post very well... my sister moved to France because we became good friends again... not for the cancer )

Hi Trish,
I hope all will be well for your sister. The Camino will always be there for another day.

Trish all the best to your sister as she deals with her cancer diagnosis, and to you as you accompany her. The Camino will wait for another time- but your sister's need is now.
Blessings to you both.

Hello Trish
Sorry to hear that you had to postpone your Camino and hope that your sister's diagnosis will be well treated, my wife who did the Camino with me had cancer surgery more than ten years ago in Christchurch and we live life in our mid-seventies as fully as we can. Kia Koha and as the say the Camino is there for you. We are off to London stopping of home (Malaysia) enroute in a month's time. There are others in Christchurch who have done the Camino or are going to do it, I hope they and those who are interested could one day have an evening session in Christchurch for an informal gathering, there are others out of Christchurch who could be invited to be guest speakers (Kiwi Nomad 06? who I have followed for years).

Sorry for you Trish.
But you've made the right choice.
Buen Camino.

 

[KiwiNomad06]

Trish, it's only after reading Jalan Jauh's posting that I have realised you are from Christchurch! I have two friends there who have walked the Camino Frances. When you are able to fix a new date, I am sure they would be glad to talk to you if you want to talk about Camino 'stuff'. Just PM me and I can pass on details if you want. Margaret

SO sorry Trish . Many great strides in cancer research . My wife & I can attest to it . Hoping all works out for you and your sister .

Sorry to hear of your sister's news. I will say a little prayer for her along the Way. We head off 1 Sep. Good luck to you and all your family. Di
