Hello everyone
I am sitting here absolutely helpless while my Mum and my brother meet the oncologist for the results of Mum's last MRI and pet scan (they are with him right now). I am really really nervous for her. I have always been able to fly over to be with Mum for these visits, but things on my personal front are rock bottom right now, (my marriage), so I haven't been able to go this time. Let's just hope that the news is good. She so needs good news. Please please please may the news be...
I am a first year art degree student (mature) who was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago. I would like to speak to other people who have felt that an everyday object or routine has helped them...
My art has involved how everyday objects can become very important in helping you cope with cancer. It has become away of me processing the shock of diagnosis and treatment. I use a variety of mediums but particularly enjoy drawing, I also use a method call cyanotype which gives a beautiful blue image.
Honey, I am missing you as always. I havebeen thinking of you so much lately, especially as it was your birthday. I have started to sort thro some of your clothes. This was so hard. You are disappearing from so much of my life. You are no longer on the bills, on the car insurance, telephone listing, etc. I really dont want to forget you. I am so scared that I will forget what you look like, what you smell like, how your eyes twinkled when you were enjoying yourself. I miss your strong arms around...

hi there im am new to this site, my name is zoe and i am 22 years old, my mum has been fighting against melanoma cancer now for two years.
She has had two small operations and one major one to remover half of her liver, and it was followed by radiation treatment.

I will keep posting here and duplicate the entries on the new address.
My reasons for doing this are because, whilst I totally understand why the blog space at Mac should be a secure haven for people to open their hearts, my blog has always been written in a way which is "safe" for public viewing.
Along with sharing my experiences with all of you lovely people here who understand each others needs...
Today I recieved a letter from the DWP informing I was no longer entitled to the ESA I have been claiming since I was diagnosed last may. There is a generalised assessment in which you have to score 15, i score 0 the fact that i could touch my toes on that day and can string together a coherent sentence qualifies me to go back to work.
Things have to change, although i was asked about my illness in great detail, and what challenges it brings to everyday life this apparently has no bearing on my...
Thats me, text book, to the day exactly when the nurse said my hair would start to fall out it has started. Have to say blubbed in the car on the way to picking my daughter up from her sleepover and then thought how silly its just hair it will grow back and there are far more important things for me to think about than losing my hair. I surprised myself by feeling this way am usually, and have been strong so far on this journey! Sitting here on this grey afternoon I can still see rays of sunshine...
