Hi All,
Not a surprise that I am not even sure what to write. My mum passed away just before this awful year started. I feel like I don't even have the right to say I am a daughter of a cancer victim as it was so sudden. She suffered from depression for over a decade which slowly consumed her and one day she was told that they can see something "uncertain" hidden area.. a week later gone. We didn't even have the chance to go through the phases, to have a chance to fight or even to have a word about it. I stuck in the everything is fine and they are not sure. I can't even say I am sorry mum I was wrong it seems to be serious. I know it is a heavy introduction. As said I am not feeling so sure.
