Just saying hello, because I'm a newbie. August has been the strangest time for me. I'm a student midwife so started the month all hectic, getting ready for the end of year submissions. Then I went on a beautiful family holiday and spent a blissful week relaxing in the sun (albeit with my usual dodgy trips to the toilet). Came home to a colonoscopy appointment, a potentially-simple-to-fix cancer diagnosis, a series of scans, and a worse than anticipated outcome. Because of this I'm suspending my studies and preparing for a colostomy and chemoradiation. So instead of attending the Welcome to Year 3 session at Uni today, I'm sitting here typing a hello on a cancer support forum, like I've just totally dropped out of my regular life. Like..."Who switched the light out?!!"
I realise that wasn't the most friendly-sounding hello! Anyone else feeling a little grumbly today?
