POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING AS MY POST IS ABOUT CANCER. I KNOW I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO PUT THE TRIGGER WARNING ON MY POST, BUT I'M DOING IT IN CASE SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO READ MY POST THEN THEY'LL KNOW ITS OK TO SCROLL PAST IT AS THERE'S A TRIGGER WARNING ON IT

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been on in a while but I found out a few weeks ago that my eldest cousin on my mum's side of my family, my cousin's mum is my mum's twin sister, has been diagnosed with kidney cancer which has spread to his spine.

He's only 45 years old and he's a dad and grandad as well as an older brother to 7 younger siblings.

Myself, my two sisters and our brother have always been close to our auntie's eldest 3 and youngest two children.

I have a photo on my phone of my eldest cousin holding my daughter when she was about a day old.

This is the photo I have on my phone.

Ignore the writing on it as I sent it to a friend last night and I wrote that on it for her so she would know what I was saying.

    Really sorry to hear that @BrianMcFaddenfan24 I remember you posted the other week telling us about him. I hope he's getting all the care he needs.

    In a cancer centre he's in a cancer centre and he's recieving the treatment he needs too. One of his younger brothers has visited him and I think either a friend or a male nurse was there too.

    My cousin's a bit upset though as he has a motorbike that he loves riding and he's not been able to.
