Here Comes the Sun

Well that piece went over really well with the nurses. 

We have several that are keen to learn more, some moonlight at breastscreen and some tag along with the BCN's when they get a chance.  Very receptive to it.  

Seems I get to do a talk at the next Breast cancer month huddle(they do these regularly)  I think its in June this time.

Thanks @SoldierCrab. It took me a few visits here to be able to bring myself to read it. But it was actually pretty good. Although for some people, treatment is forever. 

@SoldierCrab Thanks for posting. I had a cry with this one too, which is good for me as I know I haven't allowed myself to grieve. It all resonated, like others the bit about the kids, but also the bit about the husbands as my partner has already lost a wife to Melanoma. 

@SoldierCrab thank you for posting. Brilliant! I plan on sending this to both my sisters who struggle with my 'courage' and 'independence'. It also provided an opening to start a conversation with my husband - he is hurting deeply but doesn't have the 'wiring' to be empathetic. His way of coping is to retreat and monuments could be built to his self absorption, yes, probably Asperger's. I read out a couple of paragraphs as he can talk about the 'issues' if once removed - we had a brief conversation and he actually reflected on how it is for him. Now that is GOLD! Its 71/2 years since diagnosis and I've been on Herceptin and Anastrozole all that time. The toughest part has been facing the reality of a husband (of 50yrs) who cannot allow himself to feel or respond to other's feelings. Again, thanks for the gold!

@BerylC lovely to read that our @SoldierCrab has been able to help you 

Best wishes!

Wow! Every person needs to read this, be it GP Surgeon Oncologist Nurse Cancer Patient Family Friends. Everyone!
