So beautifully written. 'great' news amongst this shit news is they caught it so early - 4 weeks old!

I don't personally believe 'everything happens for a reason' but I do believe 'glimmers' can sometimes (not always 🤔) be seen amongth the shittiest of situations -🙏 for many glimmers to come your way!! Sending so much love ❤️

Thanks Rosie. I am sure I will be able to conjure up a reason in years to come but no I don't believe in it either!! Thank you. There will no doubt be joy bolts along the way.

The two week wait, from infertility to cancer. That jumped out at the page to me.

I’ve read going through infertility is adjacent to the stress of cancer, perhaps this is a road well travelled and your skill box full of ways to cope?

Looking forward to reading more of how you’re managing and what work is helping you most in this time. 💚

Thanks so much for messaging Sheila. I have heard this but hadn't recalled it until today. I will have full comparisons to make soon! I am thankfully well resourced.
