Mum has cancer again

This past few weeks I realise how very lucky I am, a week ago Wednesday my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer having had a full mastectomy last year to remove a lump and a second operation a couple of months later to remove a second lump in the same place. Also going through both Chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Since hearing the news I have been distraught and depressed, something she tells me will make my baby come out crying for now reason all the time, yes her sense of humour is still there.

My partner has been there for me all the time, on Friday he drove me to mums, meeting her for the first time and being wonderful by meeting my dad as well. He will cuddle me whilst I cry myself to sleep and calm me down when I get angry.

I guess many people reading this will say that that is how it should be, for me however this is the first time in my life I have been felt able to show vulnerability to this degree in front of anyone who is not close family, even then I'm often not able to show my feelings fully.
