Hey Sam. That's not good news. No wonder you feel awful; anyone with any sense would be terrified--it is a nightmare. Thing is, none of this is your fault. I don't know what you mean about feeling ashamed, but I hope it isn't connected to any idea that you could have avoided being in the situation you are in. Cancer is cruel and sneaky and doesn't discriminate--nothing can keep anybody safe.

Sure, it's not what you want to have happen, but it doesn't mean that you won't ever be happy again. I bloody hate rollercoasters and wouldn't want to be on the one you are riding at the moment but, realistically, any of us could already have bought a ticket without even knowing it. This really is a shit of a disease. Marg XXX
