11th April

Less than one minute read time.

Another day, no biopsy. Don't know why, I asked but no-one available to speak to at that time. Mum not well again today, has been feeling dizzy all day, and she's developed a cough. She had a mixture of emotions this evening, tearful, frustrated, anger the lot. Upset, saying she can't cope with continually feeling ill. Frustrated at not being able to rub some body cream on her legs herself. Then anger, I can't even remember why, over something trivial I think. 

Have had a few close friends get in touch to see how we all are, but I'm surprised at a few people for not contracting me. Its upset me a bit, but I've been finding myself making excuses up for them. I wonder though if I'm any better. Just because someone doesn't get in touch doesn't mean they aren't thinking of you, surely. With this in mind I messaged an old work colleague who has been fighting breast cancer herself. I didn't tell her about Mum though, maybe when she replies I will. Another situation where I can say  'It's not about me'.
