Oh Emma, you beautiful and courageous thing. I am absolutely floored by this, and I want to send you huge love, support and positive thoughts. You are loved by so many people, and your beauty and goodness have always radiated from you. I have no doubt that you will beat this horrid disease, and come out the other side of it as strong and beautiful as ever. You have loved and cared for so many people through the years, and have brought so much joy and enrichment to peoples' lives - now it's your turn to get some of it back from those who love you and want to help you through this. It sounds as though you are heading into this fight with your eyes wide open and an open and positive mind. I truly believe that this is more than half of your battle already won. There is a quote that I just love. I hope maybe it might help you on the days when you might be feeling down.. Always remember you are braver than you believe, You are stronger than you seem, Smarter than you think and Twice as beautiful as you’ve ever imagined. You and your beautiful family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please give my love to Andrew also. Tamworth people are born tough, and this tumour has no idea who it's dealing with and what sort of army you have. There are so many people who support and love you and are thinking of you, near and far. You'll beat this, no doubt. Kick butt!!! Love and positivity, Karina (Hayes/Dawe) xxxx ... View more
