Hi Hazel,
Thinkyou for contacting me it really is very stressful for our families that is so true until recently my husband couldn't even use the word Cancer but I think he's coming to terms with it now but he worries more than he lets on to me just last night we were talking on the phone to his Uncle who is a retired Doctor and he was saying how scared he is about the surgery and how stressful it is for him, I don't have any contact with my own family as my husband is from Sri Lanka and my familycouldn't accept that I was going to marry someone from another country as they are very racist and we have been happily married for 17 and 1/2 years now and have a beautiful daughter who is our life. I'm sort of setting myself little goals just like my cousin has told me to do, she's the only one apart from my dad who is now deceased to be there for us as we are like sisters and haven't seen each other since 2007 distance can be so hard sometimes but we intend to have that holiday in Sydney and Melbourne that's our big goal at the moment and I can't wait as our daughter will get to meet her 4 cousins in Sydney and my family and friends keep going from day to day and keep me positive when I go to my daughters school if I'm down just a smile or a big hug from my friends is all i need to pick me up until I see my husband when he gets home from work. I hope your husband is feeling better. I hope to talk to you soon Hazel as I believe positive interaction is the best medicine we can get at this time.
Have a Good Night Anitaxxx
