The basics,
Me - 35yr old mum of 2 and manager of a pre school playgroup, son 15yrs and daughter 4yrs who has high functioning autism, Husband who i've been with 8 yrs who has genitifemeral neuralgia ( Chronic Pain in pelvic area and finds walking hard - works from home. My Parents - love us to piesces but dysfunctional to say the least... Brother - hmm life owes him everything or so he thinks, 33 acts about 12.. Then there's My Sister/best friend - "loulie" ( 38 ) - she is Cheomotherapy Specialist Sister at an oncology unit ( Oh the irony ). She has been having tests after recurrant UTI's.. Had an ultrasound that showed a growth on her bladder and has spent 2 days in hospital having tests
What a few days, my sisters had her CT and Cystoscopy.. It is bladder cancer, thankfully it looks as if it hasn't spead. It is quite aggressive and we are awaiting her biopsy results to get a treatment plan and full prognosis they've already said she will need full bladder removal, chemo and radiotherapy.. I feel so numb, have always been the strong organised one of our family and that's a part i'm playing well at the moment but inside I feel like screaming at everyone... She's my sister and my best friend, this isn't fair..... I see her crying, I talk to her friends for her, I want to be able to make this better... I guess when we get more info things may fall into place a bit, she is convinced they are going to give her a short life expectancy but I focus on the words they used which was " We are going to treat you agressivley in order to cure you " I know she has a long battle but I'll be there for her every step of the way, we will get through this..... We have too !!!
