Hi all,
Wow, what can I say but thank you from the bottom of my heart for the warmth and caring that you have shown me and for sharing your stories too.
I do know people who have had relatives with the big c (I don’t use THE word anymore but my counsellor is working on that with me among many other things) but have never been able to speak to anyone who has experience of cc before and am feeling a bit of a release at the moment in the knowledge that there are people out there who know how I feel.
Darla, for sharing your story which is so similar to mine I am eternally grateful to you. I honestly thought there was no-one in the world who knew what it felt like apart from my family who I feel obliged not to talk to about it too much in case I upset them (don’t get me wrong we do talk about mum just not too much about our experience with cc) so to know that you have never met me but are kind enough to share those memories with me means the world.
Thanks again, I think I’m going to be visiting here on a very regular basis
Diane
