Hey all,
Just thought i would post a little update on me, myself and the hedgehog after explaining the situation in my last blog. A few things have happened since then so lets start at the very beginning.....
I went away on Friday to the Lake DIstrict, came home today, got back about 2 hours ago and after unpacking my bags, decided to catch up on what I mite have missed over the last few days. And so this leads me to my question ... Why is good news always followed by bad news? I know some will say its all about balance, karma whatever etc. I am a believer of karma, what goes around comes around etc but this is just downright cruel. Allow me to explain ....
On Friday, i had just arrived at the Lakes when i checked my messages on my phone as i had heard it ringing while i was driving. My Lymphoma Nurse Specialist had called. If u r familiar with my previous blog, u will know I am waiting to find out if i am suitable for a trial in London. Well she asked me to call back and i did and she told me that the Dr in London has looked at my biopsies and the cells r a match for the trial and that he will give me a call next week to discuss other things, whether we can go ahead etc.
As u can imagine i was ecstatic,made my weekend even better, could rest easy that something finally seemed to be looking up! Had a wonderful weekend, ate lots of lovely food, did a little Christmas shopping and all was right on Planet Emma and the Hedgehog until .....
About 20 mins ago when i checked my facebook, i discover a friend of mine who was suffering terminal cancer, has passed away. I only found out a few weeks ago that there was no more they could do for him and his mum had posted a message notifying everyone of his passing on Friday in hospital. He was only 27. He was an amazing guy, his attitude towards life and his illness was one that cannot be explained or understood, he just got on with it. I feel truly shattered at the news that the world has lost another amazing person and i feel guilty for having good news when his family r dealing with this. It's just so unfair but i guess thats how it works?
I did want to post some of my pictures of my weekend on my blog but it feels inappropriate right now. The only good thing that seems to come out of these situations it it makes me more determined to fight, to fight for the people who couldn't fight no more, and to remember them with dignity.
Love and peace to all
Emma
