The Wanderer – Vie

“It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

My mum….The Fight Against Breast Cancer

May 2, 2012

My mum and i use to clash when i was growing up.

I’m not too sure if it was because we were so similar or polar opposites. It wasnt until my twenties that

i really found my best friend, my mum.

Now everybody loves their mum, but my mum would have to be the most beautiful caring person i have ever met.

She goes out of her way to ensure everyone is happy. My mum has put my brother and i before herself or anything for as long as i can remember.

My mum knows everything about me, you know the things that you wouldn’t tell your mum, well she knows it all – and has never judged me once.

I don’t have much family and in many ways my mum is all i have, she is my Angel, and my best friend…

3 weeks ago my mum found a lump under her arm, the doctors weren’t to worried as she had only had a mammogram and ultrasound  12 months prior.

They were wrong, my mum had breast cancer 2 lumps and it had spread to her lymphodes. It appeared to be an extremely aggressive cancer.

cancer…the disease that old people are suppose to get, the disease that you hear of a friends friend getting. NO, its a horrible disease that doesn’t discriminate. Its a disease that can affect your mother, father,sister or brother.Its a disease that can affect you.

She had a mastectomy last week , we received the results yesterday, the cancer was actually in her entire breast, 2 of 24 lymphs were compromised, and the cancer cells have entered her blood stream.

We are currently awaiting to receive her chemotherapy plan which will be given tomorrow.

This is the start of a tough battle, a battle that i know my mum will fight to the end, and i will be right beside her.

updates soon xx

I drove up to see my mum today, she looked great she was smiling.

I met her in the doctors surgery, her hair was a little shorter in preparation for the chemo. but it suits her.

When the time comes i will shave it off for her, and i promised that i would take her wig shopping! Mum has always wanted to be a blonde – so that is the first one we will get!

We went into the Surgeons office together, her wound is healing well.

The doctor drained some fluid – which he said was quite normal. He is meeting with the panel of doctors today to get her chemotherapy plan, we will find this out tomorrow, it will be her birthday. The big 54 – not the best birthday present.

I’m going to drive up in the morning and take her out for a birthday breakfast, cant wait!

Until then xo

Mum had her chemo treatment, just the start and its not agreeing with her so well. There’s nothing worse then seeing someone you love so sick.

The nurses say she will loose her hair in another two weeks, so i took Mum wig shopping. It was great to see her laughing! She tried on blonde wigs, brown wigs short and long. Mum settled on a shoulder length brown one, along with a couple of trendy turbans – she maybe losing her hair but she is definitely doing it in style! After that i took er to her favourite Cafe where she had a kiddies chocolate milkshake, and she drunk the WHOLE thing. After doing her groceries we went home – i made some toasted sandwhiches and we watched rashy television all afternoon. It was great seeing her eat, as she has been quite sick with the chemo. It was great mum and daughter day, which i will treasure her in this horrible journey. Mum will have another 17 weeks of chemo, we can only hope its doing its job.
