nastys from google abuse. My partner at this point had been yelling
whenever he went out of the room 'Get OFF Google!'...

My little man is a proper boy, he has no fear, runs everywhere, talks at
the top of his lungs, wakes me up in the middle of the night every
night to get in bed with me. In short hes awesome, and can be a big
mummys boy. Turns out at 3 yrs old hes already paid me back for
everything I do for him bcos if it wasnt for him I might not have said
anything.
It was during a trip to a&e with my little man that I mentioned in
passing to the lovely doctor that I had a big lump in the front of...
So il take you back 6 or so years ago, I was single and had just landed a
mgrs job that I had worked my behind off for, and I found a lump on the
back of my neck. So natural reaction to finding a lump? Thats right I
freaked out, went to my GP and was told it was just fatty tisssue and

forgot all about it.
I met my lovely partner, moved counties, and had my beautiful baby boy....
Things were good, we had a...

Each day seems like the other day, of tests and "wait and see!" For every moment there is hope comes one of misery. If I could have one wish today, do you know what it would be? To take my Mum somewhere magical and make her cancer free! Love You, Mum x
For 8 months I have been on the cancer rollercoaster. I stepped down from my position as store manager into a sales role to concerntrate on the battle I appeared to have ahead of me. It showed in my bloods and I had all the symptoms of a rare one - lucky me - I was told WHERE is the tumour - not IF there is a tumour.
