    My thoughts are with you. Such true words, and I will try to keep them in mind too.

    I just wanted to share with you all that today is a sad day for my family.  We have learnt that cousin, not too much older than I, has lost her battle.  Primary was Breast cancer but in time her body rebelled; the duodenum was where it was detected.
    She is now at peace.  Just a reminder how fragile we all are.  Today is a reminder for me to take stock around me, be thankful that mine is under control and not to become distressed (scanxiety) over the constant tests.  My next round is 30 June.
    Take care all xx

    I'm sorry for your loss its a sad day for me too today, I just learnt that my step mother who is in nsw (I'm in SA) has hours to live  : ( her primary was ovarian cancer and I cant get there in time.. I feel thankful that Nat is still in the clear and I try not to become distressed but makes me worry a tad  xx

    Dear oh dear! Crumbs and double crumbs!  One of my neighbours has lost her battle. Breast cancer that became mets.
    Once again reminded of our fragility. 
    I will arrange the interment and attend the Cemetery; that is my day job but I won't attend the service; too hard emotionally. 
    Please take care and take stock of those around you

    It was 4 weeks from diagnosis of mets to now.  Original diagnosis of breast cancer was 9 years ago!  Goodness doesn't it knock the damned socks off us!
