Ann’s Diary, 1993

After 27 years I’ve found a forum to share my Dear Ann’ s diary of her diagnosis and journey through Ovarian Cancer, it was written for the purpose of sharing.

Thank you for sharing this very personal diary 

Best wishes

Thanks for your comments Janet. Ann kept a detailed diary of the procedures and emotions surrounding her illness and she would have wanted to share the events to benefit others. There inevitably personal comments but a large amount describing the illness itself and how we both reacted to the ever changing events. The diary covers two and a half years and always leaves me in tears when I read even a short section. Kindest regards, John.

Hi Wally,

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing Ann’s diary with us. Sounds like she was a very brave and wise lady - which should serve as an inspiration to those of us now on a similar journey to hers, and a source of comfort and great pride for you.

If you’re happy to share more content, I for one would love to read it.

All the best,

Bx

Thanks for your comments B.positive. Ann was brave and wise and described by our GP as stoic.

I have just re read a few pages of the diary to see if I can publish them further. As usual I’m reduced to tears again.

I wonder if I can send a friend request and let you see some of the diaries and perhaps you can comment further ?, best wishes , John

Hi John,

i’d consider it a privilege - thank you,

Thank you for sharing this. I’d love to read more if you are able to share. Have you considered setting up something like a (private) Facebook group to share this ( if that is what you want to do. )

 hope you can let us read more when you’re ready

 take care xx

Thanks Rikl . I’d love to share more of Ann’s Diaries but the emotions that are renewed leave me in a bit of a state.

I have set up a Facebook page for private use if you can find it .
