Hey everyone,

I hope that you’re all at home safe in isolation.

I have my wonderful hubby and gorgeous Springer Spaniel for company only for the next 12 weeks but am video calling my family every day and keeping busy.

At least the weather is lovely for the first time in months. Daffodils are out in the garden which always lifts my spirit😍

I know everyone is worried about Covid-19, as am I, it’s frightening times but it’s best to turn off the news, all social media posts and keep busy at home instead.

I am here if anyone is feeling lonely and would like to chat.

When the madness is over, we’ll come through it stronger than ever.

If you are currently undergoing chemo, like myself, no doubt you’re worrying about it being cancelled and delayed. I too am worried about this as I’m half way and want it to be over so that I can move forward with radiotherapy - I have been told by my hospital that’s it should continue as planned.

Keep smiling everyone, I hope you’re all keeping busy. Remember, this site is fantastic for support and guidance. I have learned a lot from this and am grateful for the sounding board so that I don’t have to offload on my hubby who is struggling with my diagnosis (breast cancer at 33) our families suffer terribly when someone they love is diagnosed with the c word and sometimes they almost get forgotten about as the focus is on the patient so it’s nice to discuss things on here without causing any further anguish to our loved ones. I speak from experience having cared for my parents who have had cancer and therefore know how it feels to be Carer and patient of cancer treatment (Footnote, my hubby is absolutely amazing and would be lost with his support and love)

Stay safe, keep busy, keep smiling, keep talking, keep laughing, we’ve got this!!
