Hi Sue,
What a phenomenal mum you are!!! It sounds like you are running full tilt all of the time. I know you've said Nat is still having her daily treatment but is there any chance you can schedule in even a nice massage for yourself (or for both of you - after exercise physio?) something that involves a bit of pampering for you!!!! Have you thought about checking out the Otis Foundation to see if there is a retreat anywhere near you for when Nats daily treatment is finished, a couple of days of tranquil scenery to get away could be just what you need, and give you a light at the end of the tunnel. I too have wonderful family who want to do everything for me and look after me and I'm often thinking that it is sooo very hard on loved ones to watch and help us get through our treatments. I see the dark tired circles forming under their eyes through worry, stress and loving care and wish that I could ease their paths as they are trying so hard to do for me. Please look after yourself, and be gentle with you because it doesn't mean your love is diminished in anyway, shape or form. Take care Xx Cath
