Hi, yesterday I got the worst news. The news no one wants to hear in their 30s. I have cancer. I am a mum to four children, Inc a set of 19 month old twin boys. How has this happened to me? I did what I expect most people do in my position. Cry. A lot. My face is sore today.
My wonderful husband has taken the news with great dignity I think, not like me. My parents had mixed reactions too.
I can't keep things this massive in.
I am a talker. So. I think I will talk my way through this. It will help. You will help dear readers.
I am writing this very first post on my trusty smart phone from my hospital bed so this will be brief.
I am in stop motion time, everyone else is on go but me I am on stop. Its not real yet.
Yesterday I did the usual stuff, asked why me? Scared myself looking at the cancer sites, let my brain go into overdrive and then started to feel utterly deflated.
We, that is my wonderful friends and family, are now waiting, waiting for The Results. That will do for now. Today's must do is ring macmillan cancer and ask for help. Going to need it.
