Well, I really thought I had it sussed - PFTWHFTB - but no matter how much I thought I'd prepared myself it just wasn't enough.
Sitting in the GP surgery waiting for my flu jab yesterday afternoon my phone rang so I quickly dashed outside.
"Hello Jennifer, we'd like you to come into the Galton (Cancer) Unit tomorrow afternoon. I know it's short notice but we need to start your chemotherapy this week"
My legs just turned to jelly and the tears instantly started to flow. The young lady on the phone was terribly sweet and let me ramble on about being prepared, Ian away, hoped the result would be negative etc etc
I went back into the doctors and badly needed a tissue so asked one of the Dragons on reception and when they'd finished chatting amongst themselves, they were actually very sweet. One came out and hugged me and said she'd just been through it and had coped.
So that's it, we're off now to find out the ins and outs of chemo 😢
