Alison O’Reilly - Diamonique guest

[ERICS MUM]

This has been mentioned briefly in another thread but it’s so sad. Alison posted updates on her Instagram, spotted and posted on a QVC UK FB group a couple of months ago. Her cancer has returned and has spread, causing spinal compression which has made her paralysed from her bust downward. She has to be hoisted out of bed.

I can’t add the posts here for some reason. No recent posts and I think these 3 have been removed now.

Poor woman,

So what has happened to Alison?

Google, she has had a relapse of her breast cancer.

Poor woman.

Such a lovely person. One of the best of them.

How terrible! I liked Alison's calm and articulate presentation style on QVC.

Cancer is a cruel, cruel disease.
Breast cancer comes in many forms.

Unfortunately some are very aggressive, rarer, and hard to treat.

I wish her well, and I hope she has as good a quality of life as possible in the circumstances.

How sad.

I edited my original post because I tried & failed to add the attachments. You must have read it before my amendments ! It now makes sense.

Alison has myeloma a form of blood cancer affecting the bone marrow. I think it was discussed here at the time. She had chemo and a stem cell transplant. I remember because I had a stem cell transplant for Lymphoma.
Myeloma like lymphoma is not curable.You hope for a long remission.
I was wondering a few days ago why I hadn’t seen her for a while.

Isn't Julia Roberts' also a form of myeloid cancer?

So many cancers, so few with the resources for research into cures.

And some cancers we might hear about are actually pretty rare.
Even cervical, which has about 3.3k cases a year, means many GPs will only see one or two cases a year: not enough to build up a lot of expertise in diagnosis or putting patients on the best path for treatment.

it is so sad to hear about Allison, I like her she knows what she is talking about and always pleasant. This is not good news for her. I miss a lot as I don't subscribe to Instagram

I am so sorry to hear this.Alison was always a very knowledgable guest on QVC, a pleasure to watch. Our best wishes must go to her.

That is so sad. I thought I hadnt seen her for a while. Cancer is such a horrible disease and I pray that a cure is found one day.

I wonder how many are missed through not being able to see a GP ! My friend suffered recently with the latest virus but couldn't see a doctor - the surgery suggested 111 or an ambulance. She came out of hospital today after nearly 4 weeks of flu and pneumonia.
You cannot be ill or old in todays Britain.

This is so very true, our uninvited guests don't appear to have the same problem!!

No guest of mine uses my loo without asking.

Sorry, what does that relate to ?
