Today I woke up with a sadness in my heart that I'm struggling to shift. I don't even know why, there's nothing in particular that I can say has caused it today. People use the phrase the weight of the world on your shoulders and that's exactly what I'm feeling. I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face and I'm not even sure why.
I can't even begin to imagine the emotions mum feels every day.
the only person that I feel I can talk to in the whole world isn't around when I need him most, I can't expect him to be. I have never felt so alone or overwhelmed by everything. Sometimes I can't breath.
Cancer is such a lonely place, not just for the person who has been given a diagnosis, but also for their family and friends.
Tomorrows a new day and I will hopefully wake up more positive.
I'm sorry if anyone is reading this and it's upset them. I started this blog as a way to let my emotions out and I truly apologise if this had upset anyone.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
