I manage my own personal website/blog and I spent a long time trying to make my mind up about whether or not to write something to share Lisa’s legacy with others that may not have heard of her (because I hadn’t until watching the BBC drama). <br Adrian Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588244568916368226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019246280434938648.post-20564946902903011352015-06-07T01:51:57.622+01:002015-06-07T01:51:57.622+01:00I admired both Lisa and family for the way they de...I admired both Lisa and family for the way they dealt with the Bullshit.

I cannot agree with Clare P enough, the portrayal of Lisa's family, of any family (including my own) going through, supporting a family member, a friend, living with the bullshit couldn't be so sadly so close to what it is like.

I would also like to commend the portrayal of Lisa’s family too, as all too often its the family and friends of any cancer victim/survivor who have their own stories to tell and are often the unsung hero’s who’s pain never goes away.
