lost

I promise it’s not you. It’s me.  I know sometimes it must be hard to be there for me when I block you at every turn. Especially your offers of companionship. You see when I’m alone I don’t need to be brave for anyone. It’s that brave face for the world thing. For my kids thing. Because what choice do I have thing. And it’s not a lie thing. I am that brave face you see. Because it’s in those moments within me that I find the strength to be the person I need to be. It does help to share but some things just can’t be shared. This cancer fight is fought late at night when I rage with the world and cry my ugly tears. And not because Im fearful. I know my outcome is good. I know we got this early enough and we will manage it. But the worst thing already happened. It came back. Or it never left me. And that is what I need to face on my own. With your help. But mostly on my own. It’s where the fight is fought and won. But please don’t stop offering. I love you for it. And sometimes I do get lost inside my mind.

So for those who asked, preliminary biopsy results of my right breast were good, but they aren’t all in. They’re being processed further? Whatever the fuck that means. Anyway I remain quietly confident taking my lead from my brilliant kind surgeon. Today I meet with the oncologist, who my brilliant kind surgeon promises will have all my results, so we can agree how to keep this fucker away. Or blow it to smithereens.

    Kath Anderson You need to write a book – you have an astounding gift for putting words down which make so much sense, which are so rawly honest and inflict no offence, but rather inflict inspiration and encouragement to conquer ones own demons and struggles – no matter what they are. Solitude is cathartic – it’s my best place to be when I’m fighting with myself over the complexities of life. Sending love and hugs.

    Geraldine Hartley And so it’s in you feeling lost that many of us observing your journey are FINDing out so much about the raw you and truth be told the vulnerable “us”… I completely get the reality of dealing with the daily journey of life in solitude…(whatever the individual struggles are that this reality throws at each of us) I also love the word solidarity though and so we continue to anticipate a good outcome for you and with you.
