am very touched by peoples comments. today we have gone through some of mums things we read some of her diary entries and since march last year it seems she has been suffering she writes about the pain she has had daily in various parts of her body but never told anyone. this saddens me as if she had spoken about it perhaps more could have been done

we don't want to report the pain because it seems at the time to be a "one off" or to be the last time for that one, so it isn't worth mentioning at the time.
I didn't want to report the tummy cramps because I was working and earning money, and didn't want to stop. I was in denial for a while, or wanted as much time as possible before I had to do something. I was very lucky because in spite of that the cancer was caught in time to remove it without any spread.
Maybe she didn't want to appear fussy. I had pains in really silly places, and didn't want to look like a hypochondriac, I am sure my body was shouting out. "Do something", and was hurting in all kinds of places to get attention.
