Sydney Doula, I sit here reading with tears in my eyes. You could so easily be any one of us. Any women alive, a mother with a handful of children to love, cherish and look after.

I am so very sorry you have been dealt this card. But, and this is not a but to be taken lightly, you sound like one hell of a strong and gutsy woman, who I am sure is this way because of the fight you have ahead. You WILL fight this cancer, you WILL survive it, you WILL kick it's ass. Why ?? Because you can.

We've already had a midwife on here kick cancers butt, so now it's your turn hun

Stay strong sweetheart. I too will be following your journey and look forward to the day you sign it off.
