The title of my blog is for a external blog I have created to attempt to converse with sufferers/friends/family of sufferers, I believe finding the courage to talk about things can be so beneficial and we do not even have to focus on that we can just simply chat! The tags beneath the title refer to the cancer I have but its not exhaustive to what I can discuss and it's certainly not my identity. I'm just looking to chat to people I love to chat and can often feel like I'm going crazy and a little alone in that I only know people that haven't suffered with it (other than my precious mum who got cruelly taken by stomach cancer when I was a child) but even though I knew something was badly wrong, at that age I had no idea my hero my all was going through what she was and my life with her would be so short lived...
So when I attempt to explain how it feels not just carrying the disease but all the burdens that come with it (to say the least) it's very hard for a cancer free person to truly understand-so I'm reaching out to all of you now and hope that we can get in touch soon :)
