its all happened so frikking fast!
from the 18th of april till today,the 15 th of july, ive not only found out that both my parents have cancer but have have found tenants to take my brand new lease,moved out of my flat,swapped my furniture for a new desktop computer,moved mum into her bigger house and moved myself in with her,said goodbye to all my friends,quit my two part time jobs-both volunteer, watched mum be biopsied,diagnosed,operated on and started chemo,lose her hair and shaved mine off,started a social club to make friends,come off my biplor medications so i can function during day to care for mum,suffered withdrawals from meds so painful i couldnt walk,and thought i was having psychseumatic pains in sympathy for mum.
NOW mums decided to move all the stuff outa the attic in flat to the big house! and guess who is doing most the shifting lol.its ok though as it keeps her busy and her mind focussed on something else!.
anyway,heres the situation.im a 31 y/o bi polar female.my mums got two types of breast cancers,invasive and non invasive. my dads got bone marrow cancer but is estranged and lives overseas.
theres only me mum and my brother in my immediate family,hower i have numerous auntys and uncles,and a grandfather with severe dementia.
i moved home recently to care for mum both physically ,emotionally and financially during her journey.
its going to be an.....interesting year i think!
