Five years ago a friend was diagnosed with advanced stage 3 breast cancer and given very little hope of surviving. Her husband’s response was to tell her that he couldn’t cope with it, that he’d been having an affair with his secretary for the last 2 years anyway and was leaving her and their two young teenage daughters and son. Things seemed bleak.
This week she’s had her 5 year all clear, and today she’s excited about taking her eldest daughter up to Leeds University, posting on Facebook about packing the car, and now spotting other cars with students on their way to Uni. This was day she didn’t think she’d see, and her sheer delight in every post that she makes on facebook makes me smile, and I can’t wait till we go out next week and she’ll regale us all with her stories :D
