My heart aches like nothing else before,
but as I promised,
I was there for him, every step of the way, right by his side. Right to his very last breath.
I found a lump at the beginning of May after I had some pain on the side of my left breast. I booked to see the doctor and she referred me but was pretty sure it was just a cyst (so was I). My appointment day arrived and saw a lovely Chinese doctor who asked me what changes I had noticed. I'm 40 now so things are heading south so I tried to explain this that my right breast - being right handed - was always perkier than the left but roles have now reversed, she didn't really understand until I took...
I am very Interested In medieval England and have traced my ancestry back 850yr's to a man known as sir Saluayne. he was a Templar knight. If cancer had human form I believe he would have addressed It thus,

Your skin is growing thick,
With all the stuff you do...

So now you are the carer,
Yet you'd no ambition to,
Become a full time sharer,
With the blood awareness crew...
I get lots of support,
The drugs and the attention,
You get the dirty washing,
And occasionally a mention!
While people send me flowers,

We're in the Peak District and it's lovely. If you like greenery, hills and birdsong this is basically paradise. I'm desperately trying to enjoy myself instead of focusing on the weirdness going on in my neck. It's not really working as well as I'd like. I keep trying to remind myself that really if you think about the likelihood of illnesses, cancer around my voice box sounds really less likely than a lot of other, far less serious illnesses because after all, I've got lymphoma. I mean yes it absolutely...
