Today I found out I am entitled to some fun things (it's not all doom and gloom!!). On the 25th - 29th March my boyfriend and I get to go on an activity holiday (thanks to the lovely Youth Cancer Trust) and then we also get to have a special day out (which I think will be an RAF flight day if we can get in on it) all thanks to The Willow Foundation. At first I thought, well is it right for me to go? I mean, yes, I have cancer but I feel fine and there are people far worse off than me. But then I saw most of the young people that have gone in the past had the same disease. And I'll probably need cheering up and some fun times when the chemo starts. I'm just very humbled that there are people that offer such wonderful things to people like me....
I guess you don't really appreciate what all these charities really do until they're there for you. It's hard to feel deserving for them. But I am very thankful!! These charities definitely deserve your support :) When I'm better, I will do my best to raise some money for them.
There are certain people I'm sure that will have a problem with my boyfriend and I going away to relax... to them, I don't give a crap. To everyone else, thank you for your support. It means a lot to me. I don't feel like I have cancer yet but the chemo will soon begin and it's nice to know that people care. Being faced with something like this is very lonely.... no matter how many people are around you. And that's the hardest thing. But support makes it easier :)
So bad and exciting times ahead :)
