Thanks Norman, most kind.  It's going to be a yearly thing but apparently they are notoriously hard to read (according to my genetics dr and the gynaecologist). Suey

Has anyone on here experienced one of these?  Have to go for one next week. Suey

Is it just my imagination or has the LF magazine become a lot slimmer in recent months? Suey

Thank you for all your kindness.  No unfortunately Theiere Ovarian cancer is a silent killer, I have had regularly checks by ultra sound but am happy to get rid of the ovaries if I am at risk.  At the age of 51 i really don't need them, am just a bit concerned about the menopausal side effects as I cannot have any sort of hormone treatment. Suey

Thanks Cendrillon.  Yes the Professor was very informative and gave me all the info that I needed.  Thankfully I have a cousin, who also has the gene problem, who is an ex Macmillan counsellor and she has given me some really good advice. Suey

Thanks Janey.  Good luck and keep fighting this bloody disease. Suey

Thanks Sweets, was expecting it but still a shock, particularly as I was suffering from "white coat syndrome" with the Genetic Prof and had problems understanding English let alone French!!  ;0) Has anyone any experience of this type of preventative surgery? Suey

Well results through, yeah I definitely have the damaged gene, so have been advised to have ovaries and fallopian tubes removed as it is a very undetectable cancer.  Genetique Oncology Prof also suggested mastectomy for reasons of prevention but this is something I will have to think long and hard about.  In the meantime I can have IRM but Prof says they are very difficult to read with regard to breast cancer. Suey

Thanks Parsnips Suey

If we received an endowment payout in 2010 do I have to declare it.  We live permanently in France, however hubby is taxed on Government pension in UK. Suey

The three dogs and their servants live in our house.....  [;-)] Suey

We drove through Paris on D7 last weekend, superb run through. Suey

I can remember my mum calling the larve "Leather Jackets"

Thank you both

Are they open good friday???

Ace Hotels group accept dogs, we have three and they usually only charge for one. Suey

Yeah its been a lovely day in Roussillon. We're staying down here for a month. Live full time in the Pas de Calais, so its good to get this type of weather at this time of year - our injection of sunshine - (however, its been just as good up there the last couple of weeks). Hope it lasts for another three weeks. Suey

Does anyone have recommendations for restaurants in the Collioure / Argeles / Port Vendres region. We're here for a month. Suey

On Saturday I sent one cd in a good firm envelope to england and it cost me 4.40 euros. Rather expensive me thinks. Suey

I gave up with Toby, so much better with the old team back together, Monty, Rachel, Joe and Carole.  Excellent commonsense gardening. Suey

Are you by any chance using a new computer, or Windows 7, because with some sites its not possible to open items with Windows 7 so I use Mozilla instead.  May be worth a try. Suey

Made me go cold Coops.  So so sad for all involved, lads, trainers, owners etc  Have stood at that point watching the horses parade.  John Francome was saying that it only takes about a sixth of the electricity to kill a horse as it does a human. Condolences to all involved. Suey

Pierre, we used to say that about swimming off Margate coast - Don't swim just go through the motions!! [;-)]

Have managed to get it going again.  plugged it into computer and then went into voice, vehicle files and got rid of bits, managed to download enough maps for our journey to the south of France. Ta everyone, your help as always in invaluable. Suey

Thank you F1steveuk, that was what I was attempting to do.  Had plugged it into my pc and it was working fine, then all of a sudden the screen went blank and there is nothing, we had just paid for the lifetime update too!! Suey
