After my surgery, I came back here after ten days or so and there were flowers all through the house. The house was absolutely spic and span. Some of my friends had been around, cleaned the house, left flowers and a freezer full of food. It was just wonderful and from then on, things really looked up because the support was incredible- it really was. The feeling was like, invisible hands coming out and holding you up and I felt so loved and it was, it actually was a wonderful experience to go through. And it’s awful to get to the point where you’ve got to have something umm… I suppose life threatening to happen to feel that, but it really was, it was a very enlightening experience and umm… a lot of my experiences through having cancer have been very positive. I think the lowest for me was not being able to have more children but once I accepted that everything else has been fine really.
