It must be so frustrating for you and your family, you must look after yourself so you can be there for your daughter, so try and relax , it cost so much to fly out there as well , she knows your there at end of phone so try to look after your self,

Take care flower

hi lovely lady thankyou for the update. Iam sure you are helping your daughter by keeping in touch and sending love and showing how much you care. Could you not chat to her on skype ? it may help you being to see how well she is doing , treatment is advancing all the time with new chemo drugs etc and the cure rates are improving. its lovely that you are going to have a grandchild and that she lives with you so you can look after each other. Warm hugs

we chat on facebook skype most evenings and she messages me all the time so i am in constant contact with her and she has said there is no point in getting into debt and everything is undercontrol i am being looked after extremely well by the medical people, and my hubby is taking good care of me xx soo i know she is ok but when you child is ill no matter how old you just want to hold them and say it's ok mums here x 25 years old with a little boy of 7months her an her hubby are pretty amazing coping the way they are inspirational xx

Chemo is a tough journey to make when it's you that's going through it... However I cannot begin to imagine how much harder it must be to have to watch your own child going through this... (It doesn't matter how old they are they are still your children!!)

It's lovely that you are in such frequent touch though, she sounds like a strong lady who is fighting her battle with great bravery & I'm sure you will become even closer through this ordeal.

My thoughts & good wishes are with you - and your two lovely daughters (best wishes for her and her new baby too!!)

Sending gentle cyber hugs.

teresa, you can say how you feel and how your pain is, you need to voice it. you have a lot going on and bottling it up will make you worse.

your daughter is handling it well and knows she has your support.

she and your family are still in my prayers.

regards,

sandra.

It will be ups and downs for the next few weeks, I know it is hard but you have to look after yourself, she needs you to be well so she does not start worrying about you too. Be proud that your daughter is fighting this with all she has and glad that she has such support all around her. It is difficult being so far away but she knows you are there for her in all the ways that you can be xx
