hi Sarah again
Thought I would let you know all of my family also live in Melbourne, I live on the Gold Coast, single mother, with only my daughter with me, she is currently finishing heaps of assignments for Uni, she can do only minimal for me at present and has apologised for not doing any more, but know she will once all big assignments are done and has more time.
i have a few great girlfriends for support which helps me, and a male partner who can only do minimal he takes me to my chemo treatments which are 3 weekly, like your mum also. Yes having that furry/fuzzy brain for those first few days is another way of putting it.
My next treatment is Thursday not looking forward to it, but will be there, as usual for the 2 hrs duration and fall on the couch when home.
Anyway, is your mum interested in getting on to this site to relay her feelings. Just let her know I am 58 with an 18 yr old daughter(yes had her at 40, late starter). Thanks for sharing her story with me.
Debbie
