Laughter with Cancer

The best morning hug! Just picked up my mum from airport 🙂 This will be the most well I’ve been since diagnosis.

The hardest thing for me during my treatment wasn’t the pain, or my own mortality.

It was seeing my mum having to care for me.

My body was so frail. She had to hold me up to go to the bathroom. She had to feed me as my body slumped in pain on my bed.

It’s not meant to be that way.

It’s my turn to look after her. I’m so grateful my body is getting stronger by the day.

I used to walk slower than her since diagnosis.
Last August when I saw her we were on par. This time I can walk faster than her.

Now I can look after her again and lift her luggage for her. I barely can lift a cup when I first had chemo. So crazy.

For the parents who care for their children. I want you to know it pains us to see you have to care for us just as it pains you to see us sick. You are amazing.

Love and hugs 🙂
