I'm a 36 year old mum of 4 girls, I worked until diagnosed full time in a primary school supporting children with additional needs I love my job and have found being away from work really difficult. I love to read and go away on holidays with my friends and family, my dad has a caravan In barmouth so we spend lots of time in Wales. I am due to start the 3rd of 8 cycles of chemo, Im finding the effects of oxiplatin really difficult to manage and feel poorly for about a week after the iv after that I'm pretty much ok and can function as normal, I find it difficult to fill my days with things to do when I'm well and the girls are at school as I've always been a busy working mum! I'm getting to know the Costa coffee staff really well :0)
