Janey Godley's cancer journey

Thats wonderful news !

MCSS it's good to see you back on GN. So pleased you have the wonderful news that your DH is cancer free. You've been through such a difficult time. I hope the future will be better for you both. Thank you for sharing your good news.

That is indeed fabulous news Swap, I’m so pleased for you both.
Could you start a new thread about it maybe - it will get a bit lost here.
You have a lovely day too!

multicolourswapshop that’s wonderful news! Best wishes to you and your husband ?

Good morning everyone my stroke brain has got me all confused this morning I’ve tried posting GREAT NEWS my dh
Has been told he’s cancer free after a horrendous last year where the chemo and a miraculous new drug called avelumab has finally done their job. Thank you to the lovely gransnet who has encouraged me to post after me coming off this forum due to horrible people upsetting me. That’s behind me now. Have a good day everyone

I haven't heard of her either but wish her well. Been on the chemo journey myself and not nice but still here!

If that is humour, I'll pass.

Sorry if I’ve misled some folks I meant the personal journey was taken from the subject matter janey Godley was referring to which affects most folks young and old and NOT the cancer? Words can be so misleading and complicated

I listened to part of a link I was sent of Jane Godley, enough to realise I don’t share her particular humour.

Having lost friends and family to cancer, being pedantic wasn’t part of the support I gave as they suffered this hellish illness.

Is cancer treatment a 'a personal journey which affects most folks in life'? I really don't think so, - and why, oh why is suffering from cancer, dementia etc. called a 'journey' anyway?

I suppose because it is predicted that one in two of us will get cancer then it is true that most people may be affected as either they or a loved one will get some form of it.

Is she the woman who did the skits of Nicola Stureon?
I saw one once, I think.

Whoever she is, I wish her well with her treatment.

What is it about comedians who are never content with just being funny but have to push the boundaries beyond offensive?

I didn’t realise Janey Godley had gone to the same charm school as Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr.

Shame because during the first Lockdown I thought her send ups of NS were spot on.

While I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, I personally find her about as funny as toothache, and she has a long history of being very offensive not only on stage, but on social media - Twitter in particular. Some of the stuff she posted was unbelievably racist and also disgusting towards disabled people.

Hetty58 it’s all down to a word which is comforting to the individual and cancer is an illness associated with a horrific journey to get well again.
Have a good day

(I believe it's supposed to be better than calling it a battle - or fight - but why not just call it an illness?)

Baggs she deleted the offending ,and deeply offensive tweets. She wasn't dropped by Scottish Government for nothing! Google it.

Thanks. I do vaguely remember a bit of an uproar concerning her but I wasn't following her.

She wished cancer on others. Biter bit?

She did? ? Evidence, please. Because you can't make that kind of claim without evidence.

I had heard of Jane Godley and even listened to some of her voice-overs of The First Minister. They were definitely funny. But you can have enough of that kind of nasal voice.

Do know how hard extensive chemo is so wish anyone on it well.

Nope not heard of her either but then I am not on social media other than GN, assuming that counts.

Great voice overs comedy from Janey. Get the door Frank...

Loved the one from a few years ago about NS having a phone call from Teresa May (big Teresa) about a Netflix account.

Oh glad I m not the only one I felt a sharp slap from LOUISA I was certainly on the Internet aplenty during lockdown but never encountered this lady and thanks LOUISA but I think I ll live

Nope - me neither.

Like her or not Janey Godley is still managing to make folks laugh during her horrible chemo journey. The postings yesterday were so much fun the potty mouths including mine gave their version of a personal journey which affects most folks in life. I recommend a read of these to enlighten you in your chemo journey too.

Do you have a link mcss? I haven’t heard of her either but I have done chemo so I’d like to read
