OK. I had my first rads yesterday and have been given A swipe card to announce my arrival ..... everything went swimmingly! Such lovely people looking after us.
That evening, I attended that local uke group and had a heap of fun, until the last 5 mins when i saw my broken silver chain on the floor and couldn’t find my Guardian Angel pendant that a dear friend (5 years clear of BC) had given me to wear just last week. :(
Then the wheels fell off! Maybe it has opened the flood gates of all my ‘hidden emotions’ of the last 6-8 weeks ...... grieving not only the lost pendant but everything else as well!
A number of the uke group searched everywhere in the room, all around and inside my campervan, in my shoulder bag, in my clothes .... it is nowhere to be found. It wasn’t back at the lodge, it wasn’t where I purchased our meal last night.....
I’ve just finished today’s treatment (blabbing my way thru it) and am about to ‘walk over’ all the areas I walked along yesterday afternoon, in case the pendant fell off there and the chain only fell off later. Realistically, I realise I am highly unlikely to find it again.
As My uke friend said to me in an email afterwards ...... Whoever gave you the amulet also gave you their love and strength, and even though the physical object may not be with you, the blessings of the giver are still with you.....
Such beautiful words - it has set me off crying yet again just copying them here. :(
Hopefully I will feel ‘better’ tomorrow .... cos I fear today is a total write-off! :(
all my thoughts go out to to everyone else doing it ‘tough’ during their treatment or after it xxx
