Mothers Day Classic

Thanks for the replies.

I did a Relay For Life last year and we got sashes that said Survivor on them. I think carers got a different coloured sash. It would have been great if we could have worn a "survivor" card today. That would have made it so much better.

The whole thing made me feel very angry but part of that came from finding it difficult to deal with all the in-your-face reminders of breast cancer and loss. I should have expected that but I hadn't realised it would bother me so much.

The first clear thought I had when I left the hospital after my diagnosis was "for the rest of my life I'm going to be a cancer survivor - how weird is that!". So, I never thought I would die and as far we can currently see I am not going to die from breast cancer. While being respectful to those who do die, it does seem good to emphasise to the community that cancer is not necessarily a death sentence.

I will look into contacting the organisers to give this view.
