Got my chemo as planned yesterday. J came with me this time so thank you. It was a long day, but great to have your company.
Today Suzie and I have spent the whole day and evening together. We have talked loads , which was well overdue. We needed to sort out a rota of when she would stay here and when she would be at her dads now that I will not be going back to work. Obviously I would love to have her all the time, while I am well enough to do so, but appreciate she still needs to see her dad, and of course her friends. She needs to be a normal teenager, despite whats going on, and she is managing that very well. I am so so proud of her, and always will be.
This is my story, as a 42 year old, young woman, living with terminal breast cancer.
You know, although I asked my mum lots of medically related questions about what was going on - she never actually admitted to us kids that she had terminal cancer and was dying. Yes we figured it out towards the end but we were never told. I think it's really great how open and honest you've been with your daughter.
