I had my first experience of how watching loved ones fighting cancer and going through treatment affects people emotions and perspectives.
Her mum is obviously not coping at the moment and went from a woman and mother into a teenager having a screaming tantrum.
I completely understand how something so small triggered such raw emotions but on the flip side I was so cross to see how her mum had upset her so much…
After a weekend at home she had to go back early this morning to begin her new regime.
