My name is Mary, and today I have been diagnosed with bowel cancer. They tell me I have to have an MRI scan to see if its has spread further. The staff were so lovely at the hospital, and one nurse (who lives not far from me) has given me a card to phone her at any time if I am worried about anything. so nice of her.
I lost one of my earrings whilst I was changing into the gown, I told the nurses, don't worry they were only cheap, the Consultant piped up Bet your husband bought them for you". Well, got home phone call to say they had found it. I am like many others, my future looks uncertain, so I spend a lot of time in prayer, not just for myself but others that I know who are going through treatment. I attend my Church and have many friends that are a great support, and I am sure most of you have the same support of family and friends. I have a great friend who is going through chemo and I have been visiting her with flowers etc. but not told her about myself yet, but I feel it will be the right thing to do, as we will now be in the same boat and can relate to each others feelings. Well, that is a little bit about me, but my thoughts are also with anyone that is suffering at this time.
