@Eastmum. @Sister. Thanks for that.
I only told my close friends/family initially cos I knew I would Blub if I met them at the shops .. particularly my uke group buddies, who have been incredibly supportive - one even cooking 3 meals for us, post op! If you don’t let them know, they may be even more upset when they DO find out!
When my husband was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2010, he didn’t want anyone to know ... but I was a wreck keeping up the pretence. He had most of his stomach out .... and is going great guns even now!! Eats whatever he wants and was competing in triathlons again just 6 months later!!
The ‘blog’ is a great idea .... to inform all at the same time .... I will look into that, as it may be a long term event! Xx
