Hi, I am new to all this and more than a little confused....by both the blog stuff and by the whole cancer experience.
My 18 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia in september, and is now waiting for a bone marrow transplant, which we hope should happen in the next few months. She has had a few very sticky moments over the last few months but has proved to be the fighter I knew she was and come through it. She's had her ups and downs emotionally too, but overall has handled the whole thing so well.
Initially we were so stunned with the diagnosis, and as it started to sink in there were so many complictions and things going on that we never really had time to think. As she seems to be more stable now, and getting stronger each day, I am heading in the other direction and feel I am slowly unravelling and falling to pieces.
It's great to see on here that we are not alone though, and hopefully I can pick up some tips on how continue to handle it all so I can support her once again through the tough times ahead.
