I was sat the other day watching a movie with my daughter...... it's called "the last song" and stars Miley Cyrus...... pretty good film about a girl who loses her father to cancer..... when suddenly Micky (my daughter) turned to me, with tears rolling down her face and said "Mum, you're not going to die, are you?"...... Movie off... "where did that come from".... so we sat down and had a long talk about my cancer..... and cancer in general

At her tender age of 15, she has never known anyone that has had cancer and NOT died..... it doesn't help that my mum has "gasto intestinal stromal tumours" and is terminal....... Micky thought i was just not telling her to protect her.

So I bought her onto this site and showed her all your posts....... telling her "all these ladies have fought cancer... some are still fighting..... but we are all still here, helping each other with our story's"

I also explained that there is no way they would even consider reconstruction if the cancer was still around...... she had a lot of questions, and I answered them all.... I also explained that IF the cancer comes back, she will be the first one to know... but we are not going to dwell on it..... we are not going to wait for it..... we are going to LIVE.... and enjoy life... and she seemed a lot happier.

So I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you ladies (and Tony) because it was because you all posted on here that I was able to show my daughter that some of us win the fight..... and some of us carry on fighting.

I know a lot of us are still reeling from losing Louise..... but when this happened I thought I would share it with you..... because they always say, you dont know what goes on in a child's mind...... but kid logic...... people have cancer and they die..... Maybe my experience will help somebody else with children have a bit of insight in how their child is thinking... sometime's when we think that things are finally  calming down, with hospital visits and treatment etc...... a child thinks that no news and no more treatment means we have given up.... my daughter may be 15, but she still needed that reassurance that everything was still good.

Take care everybody and keep fighting...... Louise would want you all to.

Love always

How is everybody doing?

it has been a week nearly since anyone posted on here and I just wanted to say hi and ask how you all were?

I am going on holiday on saturday... nothing fancy, just a week in Brighton with my daughter.

She deserves a break and this will help keep both our minds off the impending surgery.

I find it very hard to believe that it was 7 months ago I was diagnosed...... so much has happened since then.

but 2 weeks tomorrow i will be having reconstructive surgery.... I am so excited... (and a bit scared too)

I hope everybody is ok

Love always
