Family History

It is difficult for people around you to know what to say or know how to react when you are diagnosed with cancer. No- one can really understand how you feel unless they have been there too. Sometimes, you might find yourself having to comfort others. Having cancer can catapult you into depression and it can be a very long lonely ride. Reach out to support groups in your area, get in touch with people who know what you are going through.
 For me, I had to do it all without my Mum and I was still very much grieving, trying to cope with the loss of my Mum. I think , at the time, it was all too much to take in, I felt almost robotic and I just went with the flow most of the time. The whole process for me was very quick and I really had little time to stop and think about what was going on and I think that was best for me.
 I relied on my husband, Jon, so much all through my journey. He quickly became my carer and he was there for me every step of the way. I know sometimes he felt lost and lonely and he didn't know what to do. He was scared as well. He stepped up and took over the household, doing everything for all of us. I am so proud to be his wife. He is my rock, more than my husband but also my family and my best friend . Without him I know I never would have made it through . I will never be able to put into words just how much he means to me and I will never forget the support he gave me during my journey. Jon you are a super hero to me :)
