For the past 18 months my mum who has always been extremely fit and well suddenly became sick and my sister and I made her go to the gp as she was going on a cruise at the following weekend. Her tumour was discovered by the gp and our lives suddenly started the long difficult and challenging cancer journey. 6 weeks of daily chemo and radation followed by a 10 hour operation we are where we are. We should be coming out the other side but as everyone on this sight will know if only it were that simple.
