Thank you for kindness

I would like to thank my amazing family for their support before and during my illness. I couldn’t do it without them; they have been absolutely amazing.

I would also like to thank all staff at the hospitals where I have received treatment, including Campbeltown Health Centre, Lorn and Islands Hospital in Oban, and the New Victoria Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and The Beatson in Glasgow for their fantastic care and attention during my stays with them.

Thanks to Dr Neil McGlinchey, in particular, for his great attention during his phone calls.

To all friends and the community for kind thoughts, gifts and flowers – thank you.

Finally, a very big thank you to former Courier reporter Ruth McClean for her lovely surprise visit with the children.

I have been absolutely overwhelmed by all the kindness.

Cathie Duncan, Campbeltown.
