The letter

Less than one minute read time.

Looking radiant and tanned after my visit to Florida with my children , Christopher and Sara .

I had to go for a routine mammogram. The same day we got back . 

Jet lagged but full of confidence I drove to East Surrey Hospital .

No worries, no idea and in denial I went to guilford after I was called back with my daughter.


All too slow in my memory . The call  for another mammogram, the time I was sitting in front of the consultant , the ultrasound, th biopsy and all the hint I had cancer . None of these behaviors tried to convinced me , my brain could not take it . There is no way I have cancer , no not me iam a healthy person . I have no lumps , I have no pain . 

It can’t be me .

    We all have stories , we all have struggles but believe me when health is not there , the world become a different place , a strange place , a one that you feel don’t belong to you anymore and you have no control over , the one you have to fight to stay in .

    You want to sit still and think , be strong , positive and full of hope , but your brain let you down and you feel weak and stop thinking , because you realise you are just a humble little person . And have no power anymore .

    Last 5 months were challenging , hard and very emotional .

    I felt like my new home became hospital and my body has let me down .

    Iam not sure how I got through my days ,

    my feeling and though has been all over the place . one horrible though off me having cancer never left me , the question asked by me to me never stoped ,

    I asked all sort of questions to myself and my God , but I never understood or got a answer .

    Why now that my life seems to be so perfect and happy .?

    I am not sure when the darkness of this horrible time will be lifted from over my head and shoulder .

    I so much want to feel normal and try to forget about my cancer . I do my best meet people , talk to people , walk , exercice , but deep down I became a different.
