Fragility

iserbrown

Thank you for all your kind words - it has hit home today and so feel sad, stressed and all those other emotions.  Things seem to multiply sometimes, now her sister (my other cousin) has been diagnosed with breast cancer and I have a sister set for major spinal surgery Monday as well as.  I know we all have differing things going on in our lives and it seems to be they all come at once to test the resolve and emotions doesn't it!  Can't get rid of this damned cough lingering from a cold, in week 7 now!

Take care everyone and take stock of those around you  xx

Big hug to you Christine @iserbrown and hoping that you can celebrate the life and joys that your cousin would have shared with you. Well wishes to your other cousin and to your sister too. Sending positive vibes your families way and hoping all works out well. Xx

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

@Scared Mum thank you for your message.  I am pleased to hear that Nat is still in the clear! 
My heart goes out to you with your step mother; she will be constantly in your thoughts.
Please give Nat a big hug and sending you a virtual hug
Take care 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

Thank you everyone, I am meeting the family this afternoon, how hard it is to be professional in your role when it is someone who you know well and the other part of course is the journey that she has been on.  Self says no that isn't going to happen to me, however none of us know and it is the fear we all live with isn't it!  Self, think positive!
Take care and thank you again

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!
