it is with the saddest heart that i write this post
yesterday my good good friend and partner in crime maz54 left us
i came on here july 2015 when first diagnosed and struck up a “ digital” friendship she was one of the many who helped me navigate those first few “ rabbit caught in the headlight” days
we gradually kept in touch more and more and met up for lunch afternoon teas etc
no one understands what this shitty disease does to you and those you love better than someone who has been there or going through it and thats what maz was for me
she got my worries my fears my woes she was the most positive person i met right up to my last conversation with her last week she has kept going living every day and enjoying everyday and all the time knowing what was happening
i am heartbroke for her family a beautiful daughter who she loved immensely and a wonderful husband and friends as i know she was loved by so many and i am sad for myself as i have lost a friend a friend who got me at my worst and my best
i knew it was coming but hearing it today was hard bloody hard and the world looks a little less bright without her in it , i shall miss her every day i shall miss her support i shall miss her friendship i shall miss her swearing but most of all i shall miss her my dear friend maz or as i liked to call her batman to my robin
i promised her i would post on here i just wished i never had to do it
miss you batman !!!! xx

If were both so lucky to have each other. May she rest in peace and watch over her family friends & us xx
I’m so sorry to hear this Claire. Heartbreaking for you to lose such an awesome friend, and for her family to lose such a pivotal member of the family. Thinking of you all xxx
Hi Clair, Thank you for letting us know, I'm sorry to read about Maz, I've been on here now for 4 years and made some amazing friends and also lost too many, it never gets any easier. Best wishes with all my love to you and Maz's loved ones Lorraine xx💙💙
Very sorry to hear this.... funnily enough I said only yesterday to someone that just about the only upside to rotten cancer is the people we meet, who we would never have otherwise, and the new friendships we make.
It must have been hard for you to post but thank you for doing it.
I am so sorry your Batman has left us, I am so sad for you and her family, I hope you all are able to spend time together remembering all the good times and help each other through this sad time. I hope her 🦇 signal shines bright in a place of peace.
This is a terrible disease and you're absolutely right to rage and rave against it. We're all trying our bestest to beat the beast, and I'm certain your special friend Maz was giving it her 100 percent, but loss and separation is painful and hard to accept. Here's to us all survivors still, we're fully aware of what can be, but in the meantime let's just think of your friend and you Claire. May good memories of your friendship remain a source of comfort and peace. My sincere condolences. Xxx
Oh I’m so so gutted to hear this we’ve been messaging for a few years and I had a msg a month ago which was this....

Hi Jo - has been sooo long since I've heard from you so I'm hoping you're well and enjoying life! Things pretty critical for me now - was put into palliative care 6 months ago as really the end of the road had been reached and there was nothing else to offer me. I didn't want any more treatment anyway; I attend a day hospice every week which is a totally amazing place!!!! So supportive - I'd be lost without it!!
I'm beginning to sink down really but it's okay - I've written down my funeral arrangements and just marking time really!
Sorry I don't mean to be too depressing; I've valued your friendship and correspondence over the months. Would love to hear from you 😘😘😘😘😘
I sent her a long long message back straight away but never got a reply so was kind of thinking she may be too sick. She was wonderful, gave me such good advice and I’m so so sad, it really brings it home to me how awful and scary this disease is. My sincere condolences to her family.
Thank you for sharing the news with us, Claire, and I'm very sorry to hear Maz54 has passed. She was someone who stood up for her friends. May she find peace. Xx. Maus
So very sad and sorry to read this. What a lovely tribute to your friend you have written. The ladies we meet on this brutal journey are truly amazing and virtually the only saving grace to come out of this situation, but it is so so tough when they leave us. Thank you for letting us know and may Maz now be flying high with her teal wings, or should I say Batman cloak I guess! All the best to you and condolences to her family, love
