My photo book :)
Throughout my BC journey, from the day of diagnosis to the last day of chemo, my most precious daughter has taken photos of me and of other people in the family with me.
Hundreds of them and sometimes I have been happy to have my photo taken, and other days, I have been a bit grumpy, but she has still taken them!:)
Today she gave me the most beautiful, special gift. She had all the photos (hundreds) put into a hardcover book. The title of the book is 'Shit happens, but life goes on' and the last page is a pic of me and the words, You're a tough girl Mum.
This girl of mine doesn't know how special she is in our lives. I will never be able to do for her what she has done for me the last 6 months. I am truly blessed!
Hope you are all doing OK.
Cheers Robyn.xoxo

- Thanks to everyone for their responses to my post.Too often,and rightly so,our blog posts are about our illness and the day to day trials associated with it.Isnt it great to acknowledge the people that have helped us through this time:)Without them,I am sure many of us would have struggled even more than we did.I am going to give my daughter an extra big hug when she comes home today!!!Cheers Robyn

I gave my daughter and her family a holiday. 1 week at a resort in Port Macquarie.
I know for every appointment etc My came to her husband took the kids to school and her mother in law picked them up. She works casual and if she couldn't work she didn't get paid etc. like you say there is no way in the world I can ever repay her but a holiday just for them goes a little way towards it.
I truely would have been lost without her support.
Ontop of that I repaid her with a lifetime of vigilance, she has had her 1st MRI and until she is 40 will do this yearly.
Cheers
Donna
