Watching her, watching the world

Told my sis Thu my news in the taxi this morning and she held my hand and let me cry (for the first time)and was lovely. She helped me stay strong all day and not tell mum and Bill and not be upset.... In a way a bit of denial at the moment is good.... She was like a big kid on the plane, wanting the window seat and excited at every noise :). Mum cried when she saw her and we had a great afternoon. Was a bit harder tonight with Thu gone as they wanted to talk about my health but I don,t want to wreck their holiday with worry - am going to try and hold out till Friday. I might be a bit more reconciled with it all by then.

Thank you everyone - I truly do have friends around the world! It's good to know others have been through similar and survived and moved on with life. I'm still a bit in shock I think - and the specialist was so incredibly rude and arrogant I didnt get many of my questions answered. And the financial implications for me are terrifying..... But one baby step at a time. This week I guess is acceptance (and telling people).
