A bunch of us went to é at Jaleo in the Cosmopolitan last week and it's a private restaurant within the restaurant. It's a table for 8 that's like a semi circle and the chefs prepare all 24 courses as you watch. It was a pretty special experience although for $400 a head it should be!!

I think some of the stuff was a little too refined for the palates of Alex and myself but on the whole it was an incredible experience. I probably wouldn't return but it was worth doing just to try it out and see what it was all about. Some of the dishes were just a bit too fancy and others were really good.

Cos and Sunny could probably put together a better TR than me for the meal anyway as I'm a bit of a caveman food wise and just muller whatever is put on my plate!!

Terrible news Jason, hope they get the pain under control, and its nearer 5 years than 5 mins. Thoughts with you, your mum and the family.

Ty all. I am 41 and if I am being totally honest have not been close to my mum until the boys were born in the last 4 years. I have a bit of sibling rivalry with my sister and my mum tends to spend most of her time looking after her kids who are 8 and 6. I fell out with my sister 7 years ago and ain't spoke since but love my niece and nephew and infact I looked after my nephew every Friday for the first year of his life. I don't have a problem with my mum helping my sister at all because she got divorced a couple of years back and this year was made redundant from her position of financial director when new owners took over the company she had 15 years with, so now she commutes an hour a day now to a new job.

Cancer is a horrible disease and I am a little biased because I have lost so many friends and relatives who have under gone the horrible treatment only to die anyway. Once you get diagnosed and they start the chemotherapy and radio then that seems to be game over to any quality of life in my opinion. I believe this so much that should I ever get cancer ( the chances are quite high) then I will really on my will power to fight the cause.

I have had 9 months to come to terms with my mums illness and never really show my emotions but yesterday everytime I look at the 3 boys I well up thinking they ain't gonna have a nanna for years to come.

I understand almost exactly what you're going through Jase and my thoughts are with you.

Jase, I understand that you're biased about cancer and treatment etc, but if it could be treated with will power alone, then I doubt anyone would ever die from it.

Plenty of people receive treatment and recover, to lead a normal life.

Each case is obviously different, but surely if you were to ever get cancer, and the doc said treatment could cure it, then that would surely be better than relying on will power?

We lost Dad's mum and his only brother to cancer in the space of 6 months a few years ago. Such a  devastating disease, thoughts with you all and hope that they can ease her pain as much as possible.
