Thank you so much ladies for your kind words and thoughts, I actually found I had nowhere to turn today for support...I have found as my journey continues, family and friends tend to move on and their focus is elsewhere apart from a few people. Very disappointing. AS you all know, what an incredibly hard journey this is, having others who just 'get it' makes a real difference, where you dont have to explain the depth of how you are feeling and why!!! To those who have lost parents too...the biggest hugs, its the hardest thing in the world.
I'm ok after the meeting today, it helped alot actually and he said its very straightforward in my case. He's put me through the public system eventhough I have private cover, so I will have no out of pocket thankfully. Forward thinking as it will come around quick Id imagine, but I have one doing VCE next year and another in Uni and I'll have to send them to their Dads. I battled with being a single parent through 4.5 months of Chemo and only had my Dad come for a few days when I needed desperately. Otherwise I had to manage with no support. Everyone was well meaning but no action really....I let go of alot of people through the past 5yrs and have a few close friends only now. Not sure how I'll manage recovery at home as will be alone...hmmm hopefully I can manage right??? my partner will be able to help only weekends as we live far apart and work commitments makes it difficult lol Uuuugh need to do some serious planning!!!! definitely feeling much better so thank you again ladies!!!
Hugs to you all! xoxo Melinda
