Well, I haven't posted for a little while as there hasn't been much to say. My Mam has been recovering so well, especially since her surgeon told her the op and test results were so positive it was highly likely there would be no need for chemo. Needless to say we have been celebrating, and had a lovely few days last week when my parents came to visit us and spend some quality time with the kids. All…
We went to see my Mam at the weekend. Wow, thats all I can say really! To look at her you would not believe she had only been out of hospital a matter of days.

Anyway, just a short update, I don't know how to feel, and am struggling with not living close enough to visit but at least this is one step closer to the day this is all over and done with.…
My Mam went into hospital today. She has her mastectomy tomorrow. She seems ok, I still think she is hiding a lot from everyone though. I am very close to tears all the time, I just feel so helpless.
