hi im 36 mother of 3 n diagnosed dec 23. ive had 2 ops n 5 of 6 chemo n finding it very hard at mo. feel so peed off n cant get rid of that feeling. would love to chat. x
I am so sorry to hear that some of you are going through such a hard time at the moment... i want you all to know that you are in my heart and in my prayers.
I have also decided to do the race for life...... but I was inspired my my daughter.... I will tell you about it.
My 15 year old daughter and her friend wanted to do the race for life this year, but were totally devastated when they saw that under 16's could only enter if they were part of a group.... She didn't think that was very fair, so Micky (my daughter) and Cappi (her friend) started to try and find a loophole..... but unfortunately, the rules are very strict there.... And it started me thinking... These two 15 year old girls want to do the race for life (because of me) and raise money for womens cancer and they're struggling.... They are not hanging around on street corners.... they are not mugging people..... and they are not trying to cause trouble....... so I went to see cappi's mum (who runs a pub in town) we did a bit of brainstorming over a couple of coffee's and this is what we came up with........ Next weekend, Cappi is stopping with my daughter for the weekend, so they are going to make a poster inviting the women of the pub to join our group and run the race for life with us.... we are going to get as many people as possible and we are going to leave sponser forms in the pub too.
So far our group consists of Me, Micky and Cappi....... I will let you know how many others join..... But I am very proud of my daughter.... she hasn't just sat back and felt sorry for herself..... she doesn't bleat about the injustice of our situation...... she stands up to be counted.... she inspired me to get off my bum and do this race with her..... i might walk it... I might be the last one finished.... but I WILL DO IT..... because of my daughter.
Just writing that has bought a few tears because I realise that I am one of the lucky ones..... I am a survivor.
Tomorrow.... on the 15th March 2011.... I will have been cancer free for 6 months.
