Hi Jen,
I just read your response and seen your blog whilst chatting with Narelle.
OMG!!!
I feel so badly for you huny :( I lost my Mum a year ago this last January and although I was officially over my treatments at the time as I had finished mine in 2011, it was still totally devastating to go through!!! Whilst I was going through my treatment my Mum was very ill in an aged care facility and had lost the ability to comprehend my drams with BC which was extremely hard for me!!! When I could visit her she would always ask what was on my head and why I was wearing a face mask? I showed her a little of what was going on under it and she would then either remember or freak out to what was going on with me? So over and over I had to relive it with her.
She would often be very short with me due to her mental state, and would more often than not, forget that I even had BC. Still It helped having her presence whilst going through the treatment, so I can't imagine not having your Mum there to support you. The dramas of your BC huny, I can only say I wish it had been better for you!!!
I honestly thought I had it bad with infections, blood clots and forced hospital admissions, but you my dear take the cake as it were!!! I wish you all the best with your BC journey and hope you can see that the light at the end of your tunnel is not a train but your new beginning free of cancer and beyond.
Take care always and remember to smile even when you feel you can't!!! XXX Mia.
