So we all know life sucks from time to time. And we all know to be grateful for the non sucky moments because they too will pass. As will the sucky ones. I keep telling myself this as I plan my next months. Yup I am having chemo. Again. A different chemo to the one I had before but chemo. And yes I will lose my hair, and potentially my nails, and my eyebrows and eyelashes and get mouth ulcers and vomit and rashes and nausea and extreme fatigue and neuropathy and generally hate the world. And it all fucking sucks. But I am resilient. I am a warrior woman. And I knew it was coming. I knew it the minute I read that awful word invasive on my pathology report. I knew that a systemic response would be needed. Its the medical consensus of many learned oncologists and pathologists and surgeons and who am I to argue? Anyway I know too much. I know the consequence of winning that argument but losing in the long run. And that’s not an option. Chemo sucks but having cancer sucks a whole lot more. So I am at peace with relinquishing control (okay a bit) and being guided by those reknowned for being cautious, sensible and non aggressive in their approach. And deep deep down I know I’ll sleep better knowing we are doing what we can.
grace and dignity
a life to be grateful for
grace and dignity 
Thinking of you and sending white light x
Life does SUCK at times (funny how that rhymes with FUCK 😛 ) – but the one consolation is that you have been there, done that – AND bought and sold the FUCK IT T-SHIRT once before! You know it’s going to be KUK but you also know that when all is done and dusted – Your hair will grow back and so too your eyelashes and fingernails – and through it all YOU ARE STILL THIS VISION OF GORGEOUSNESS (INSIDE AND OUT), and NOTHING AND NO ONE can dim your INCREDIBLE light! Love and admire you …… YOUR BEAUTIFUL SOUL! <3 ps – You are so coming to visit me when your treatment is over! :) The champagne is on ice and waiting for you! All my love always xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Theresa Milne Aw that’s not something I would look forward to either. Sorry 😢. Will be holding breath with you until this rough patch has passed. Important to keep in mind that it will pass. A regular supply of ginger will be needed to help ease the side effects Much love 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻❤
