Hi TK,
Good to hear another Aussie on here!
My thoughts are with you and I hope your treatment progresses well.
I’m so happy that you have had some options re-treatment, we asked the specialists about radiation, chemo & more surgery but unfortunately for Mum we were given NO to everything, it had progressed too quickly and there was nothing they could do.
All the very best, where are you in Sydney?
Regards, Kate
To all of the wonderful people who have responded – thank you so much for your replies and kind words – Mark how brave you are, my thoughts are with you and I hope you continue to find strength from this site, your positive attitude has really put things into perspective for me and when I am feeling low I will remember you and your struggle with this – hugs. It is comforting to know that have all been/going through this journey & are at different stages, makes me feel not so alone in my pain. Regards Kate
Hi Janet,
Thanks for the reply. I’m so sorry for your loss.It’s been 11years but the pain is still so raw, as I mentioned I am working through things now for the sake of my husband & 2 boys and me. I know Mum wouldn’t want me living with such sadness. It is really such a scary cancer as you say – there are often no symptoms and things can take a very dire turn in such a sort time. In some ways we are glad that Mum didn’t have to endure more surgery, chemo, radiation to have it only return (as is the case with alot of cancers) but the speed at which it just took over was quite unreal.
The other thing is that people often say that it’s better when you have time to say goodbye but from someone who has had that time with Mum and then lost my Dad the year later very suddenly to suicide – there is no easy way.
I hope you have progressed further along the grief process than I have as we know life is too short and we have to enjoy every precious moment.
Kind Regards, Kate
