Hi everyone
Just a quick note because I am flying to Australia to be with my daughter for her 30th birthday tomorrow.
We had some great news in February because I hate using the word but double remission from thyroid and cervical cancer. But they found fluid around Claire's heart. Why when you have good news they temper it with bad. That was checked and at first its nothing. Then the cardiac guy said oh it could be a spread. Then others said it was nothing to worry about. But how can they have contradictions all the time. Anyway the outcome is that she is very down and is sure the cancer has returned even though everyone is trying to convince her otherwise. So a couple of days before her 30th she is having a PET scan. Sometimes life is hard to wait and watch and being helpless. To see your 29 year old daughter go through this worry is so sad especially as I am so faraway.
Thanks for listening to me. I know we need one another because no-one understands what it feels like caring for someone you love and watching them suffer.
Stay strong

please take care and have a wonderful time with your daughter as a mam myself i realize your pain sending lots of love hugs and healing to claire xxxx and of course happy birthday
when you fly home come round to mine for a cuppa !!!! thinkin of you all xxxx
I'm sure your daughter will feel so much better having you there for her birthday and the pet scan. Mum's are the best medicine, whatever age you are! Wishing her a happy birthday and that you both have a day to treasure.
Hi Jane, as a mum myself I can only imagine the torment you are going through. I have a 29 year old daughter and dread to think how I would feel if it was her. I know my mother-in-law told my daughter never to have children (after her son - my husband - my daughter's dad became very unwell with his cancer). She is not a demonstrative woman so that was the first real indication I had as to how she was feeling. Now she is totally devastated of course as he passed in March. To watch your child go through something like that is I imagine a horrific experience and one not to be envied.
I wish you a very safe journey and hope that your daughter has the best birthday and hope that the best birthday present of all is given to her - good results from the PET scan. Take care. x x x x
I hope that you have a good journey & that your daugter is O.K. There is nothing like a mothers love to see you through the tough things that life throws. I am a mother myself so fully understand what you are going through.(Thankfully my children are all fit & healthy.) I wish you all luck with the results from the PET Scan. thinking of you . Love lyn.XX
