Telling the family

Less than one minute read time.

30 Nov 2022

Last night I ventured into telling my girls, both adults & my Mum.

One by phone as they live a fair way away from us,one face to face...both at the same time. And my Mum I walked down to see a bit later. It's still odd to say out loud, now I'm waiting on more results for more faff & lumpy bits, so not quite as clear for them as I would like.

I have more blood test tomorrow morning, CA125, CA19-19 & CEA. I know these are tumor & cancer markers they told me that. I did the illustrious Google thing...

How did it go? Hope it went ok. My kids said "is your hair going to fall out?" and "we know all about cancer from films!". They are 18 and 21. My mum cried. My dad was a rock until a few days later and then he cried continually for 24 hours. Now we're all back to "normal".

Mine are 22 & 25. Neither really said much. Youngests bf asked how I was feeling. We've dealt with a lot of cancer in the family so they know, perhaps a bit too much. We lost my Dad coming up for 15 years ago, both my grandparents a year or after. My Mums a difficult one to fathom, she did listen to me though and then honestly I can't remember what she said to me.
