Thank you, my friend

Thank you to my special friend. We met several weeks ago at a clinic where I was waiting to get pre-surgery blood tests and she was waiting for a physiotherapy appointment. We smiled then got chatting, as people do. Having heard my BC story and that I was alone she was at the hospital with a beautiful bunch of flowers and a special bottle of wine when I came out of theatre. It was such an amazing feeling to not be alone after all. We have caught up since and she kindly lets me use her computer instead of travelling to the library.  In the meantime she makes me a cuppa then we sit and chat. She has three of the cutest animals who each give me their own brand of comfort. This week I confided my deepest darkest secrets to my new friend and she told me she also had breast cancer 3 years ago. No wonder she knew what I needed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.<3 

  • What a beautiful story. I believe we are provided with what we need at the perfect time. Take care and enjoy your new friendship.
  • @BlackWidow glad to hear you are connecting with another who understands the journey (roller coaster from Hell) 


  • That's so lovely.  There are kind people in the world.  
  • Thats so lovely .amazing how people are drawn to us.
  • How beautiful and so lucky to have found each other. 
  • We are rarely entirely alone, but sometimes we think we are. I am not alone but it took breast cancer to find out that my neighbour had it ten years before. Her getting on with life (15 years now) was a great encouragement for me to do the same. Keep heart and enjoy your new friendship.
