Some of you might already know me from the odd things I have written, but I am now drawn to say a few things that might be controversial. Yes I have had breast cancer, I have had all the treatments, some support , mainly from my daughter who is now in Iraq. I think I have a good prognosis. I have read yet again in the Telegraph today about support with cancer. I am drawn to the stories of people who are far more special than me and whilst I feel that I have had a serious illness there are so many people out there who are so much worse off than me and then that makes me feel selfish. I dont know what is round the corner for me, hopefully nothing, but we never know and I am torn between relief, anxiety about what might happen and how dare I be so selfish when there are people who are dealing with a lot worse than me. I think life is a bitch! There are many of you that have had very supportive friends, family and colleagues. And I know like myself that there are some without this network. I know I am strong, it grieves me to read of womenwith problems with work and making ends meet. There is nothing I can do about this but I feel very sad. I wish I was that millonaire who g ives money out to good causes on the TV. Anyway thank yoy for reading my rant. I shall now go and cook dinner for me and a friend and watch Xfactor. Take care
Love
