Well I've been on this site for just over a week. I thought I would start this, because sometimes you just need to talk to yourself - I do it all the time!!
This page and chat room is amazing, everyone here is just so nice and I am amazed at how welcoming people are. It's so sad to see how many people are hurting from this disease as either a patient or a carer.
So, where do I start about me?
So not a great few years (and I'm only 28!). I work full time (except May - June this year) and some how get through. I stand by my profile name - Bubbly... if you don't laugh, I'd go mad!!
I know this seems a rather clinical way of describing me, but I guess that's how I deal with things. I miss my grandad sooo much and that actually upsets me more than me having the tumour!! The silly things that I think about more than when he was alive. I wonder if he is watching me now? When I go to my Gran's I can't help but ache to see him. I have a hole in my heart where something is missing. :(
I'm current having steroids to reduce the tumour. As i say, that part doesn't really worry me, I am ok to go and have the operation when it comes alone and not tell anyone! Perhaps too independant for my own good!
Anyway, enough rambling for now...
