About Mariaj

Hi 

I have a rare cancer,  it's a basel cell adenocarcinoma of the paritoid gland, 

Diagnosed 2024

I had 6wks intensive radiotherapy but it's not gotten rid of it all, 

It can't be operated on because it's in to deep and wrapped around the facial nerve,

So therefore terminal, 

It's a struggle to know how to feel.

I upcycle old cable reels to take my mind of things. 

I also have 2 grown up kids a husband. 9 cats and a golden retriever,  I feed foxes at night in the garden and watch them on the ring doorbell,  

That's basically me
