Time stood still and my life has never been the same since the day the words that are forever like a neon sign in my memory and my soul were spoken….Vickie, you have a brain tumour !!!!
As it turned out itl wasn’t quite so simple, no way, if I’m going to do something, ill do it BIG !! Ha ha ha….a rare form of brain cancer, even better !! Ok….there are two ways to deal with this….fall apart ?? NOT AN OPTION !! Face this thing head on….(no pun intended)
I won’t lie, yes there were tough days and still can be but we all have those. This might sound strange to some people but I have no regrets and am actually thankful because this made me sit up and take notice of myself again and reassess what is really important and make the changes. Cliche ?? I really have done it and wouldn’t have had the courage, time or inclination if this disease hadn’t come into life.
So my message to you is….stop and really smell the roses, enjoy every sunrise and sunset, cherish your family and realise that you will find out who your true friends are when confronted with a bump in the road. The new friends I have met now because of my journey are truly a blessing….there is a positive in every negative xx
