Our village show was held on Saturday and I was determined to go despite it being 3 days after my last chemo, so high on drugs and adrenalin I went, spent most of the day fending off questions, yes I do look well, I know my hair will grow back, yes I know there are people worst off, etc etc you know the sort of thing. Late in the afternoon a girl of ten came up to me, I had known her when she attended the pre-school where I used to work, she had a pot of money and as I dropped in a couple of quid I asked her what she was collecting for, she replied, for breast cancer, so they can find a cure for you, with that she hugged me and carried on her merry way. I was dumbstruck. When the balance of the universe had returned I went and sat down and just smiled when I was told yet again how well I looked. I just wanted to share that happy little moment.
aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww bless
how wonderful!!!
I am so glad you had the time to sit and absorb it all
and then share it with us
hang onto that moment!!!
hugs

that is such a nice little gesture that means so much. She would have meant it so sincerely as well, which is all the more touching. People do care.

Awww. That’s lovely. Like my local pub had a Race Night to raise money for charity. I asked which charity? And they said Maggie’s Centre, for you! Raised over £400 for them that night, which was really touching. And my brother in law cycled the 60 miles round Oxford for cancer research for me - because there’s nothing they can do to actually help being so far away!
People do care, and show it in remarkable ways

That is so lovely, can’t even think of words to express what that made me feel like.
Just helps restore your faith in the human race doesn’t it.
I know exactly what you all mean one of the nurses on my team did the Moon walk for me and asked what my favourite colours were. She then made little dolls and attached them to her bra with my colours on.- then gave them to me to keep
My mates had already enrolled to to the Moon Walk before my dx. The morning they finished they texted me to say " this ones for you Bridie". I creid uncontrallably for 10 mins co I knew they really meant it
