    Well - You are a proud Mum and Grandmother, a sporty girl and a good listener.

    You are YOU, first and foremost - you've been on a journey and you are a survivor.

    Take care and good luck with the rest of your treatment.

    thank you and yes, i agree its just no knowing what my official title is.

    i have been strong and for the most part pretty well muddled through it so far. not impressed now my lashes are leaving me but they will return eventually. i think once u actually look like your sick, it gets a bit more of a struggle. deep sighs in the morning when the mirror hits, lack of energy for the simplist of tasks. worrying family coz the brain is functioning elsewhere as u actually forget to turn off the gas or stick the kettle on a burning hob!!! i dont feel safe with myself right now yet i do know it will improve. its just coming to the end of the chemo fight, bound to be a tad bruised i guess.

    thank you for your comments, they mean a lot to me x x x

    you are a "cancer survivor" you are you, first and last....

    rads are a walk in the park compared to chemo, you can do it standing on you head... although they might zap the wrong bits ...lol

    good luck, liz xxx
