The things that had the biggest impact for me were during my recovery. I wanted to live a very healthy, active lifestyle. My eldest daughter helped to change a lot of our diet and gave me a lovely diary to record my exercise in. My husband and both daughters walked by my side in the Mothers Day Classic to mark my first year anniversary of diagnosis. Then when I wanted to take on a 10km walk to raise money for the Cancer Council, my daughter came with me for support. I also very much appreciated the supportive donations and messages that I received from many friends and family.
My husband was also a huge support attending all my chemo sessions and many of my medical appointments during treatment. But then he took on the biggest ever challenge to be my side when we trekked to Everest Base Camp to celebrate my 3 year anniversary of diagnosis. This from a man who delighted in telling everyone he had not walked anywhere since he got a licence at 17! Now we regularly hike on weekends and love spending time together in this way.
Again the support we received from family and friends to achieve this goal was wonderful. We raised over $10,000 for the Cancer Council and could not have done this or got ourselves there without that support.
It was the recognition that these were very important goals to me and receiving the support to achieve them that meant so much.
