Thanks guys! Really appreciate the support. I'm so sorry to here about your parents, and I hope not for a long time that I will have to write that. I recently reached out for respite, the local health centre shouted me a night in the grampians, which was awesome. So relaxing and gave me the time i so needed to get my head around things. It's been a while now, I feel a lot stronger than I did when I wrote this blog. We have a house cleaner, and that's great, but most like you guys everything else is pretty much up to me. We don't have many family in this town, but the family and friends we do have is incredible, a lot of support. I think I'm just stubborn sometimes, I don't accept peoples help because "no it's right, I can do it on my own', and I need to learn that I just can't. I've definitely considered calling the cancer council hotline, I'm actually looking forward to it. A couple of weeks ago I organised a fundraiser day for the cancer council, relay for life. I shaved my head, we had auctions raffles and spinning wheels in a local bar, it was a great day out we raised over 3,700 and I'm now up to 6,000, it made mum so happy! I love to see her happy, its like a weight just falls off my shoulders. Mum and I are doing the relay, it's in two weeks 🙂 I'm hoping shes up to it :) Thanks guys xxx ... View more

Hey Lynette and Chatter dog, Thank you for your messages, I haven't been on here for a while now, as we know, being a carer can be busy and just don't get around to these things. We do have home help Lynette a cleaner comes once a week that is so helpful for mum and I. I had a minor break down recently and reached out, the local health centre shouted me a night in a motel in the Grampians, a great big spa and a king size bed with a view. It's nice to know there is support. As for mum, it's hard to know how she is at times. I think she is scared, but so scared that she doesn't want to scare my younger brother and I. She spends her day crying sometimes, it's hard to know what to do, I don't know whether to stay by her or leave her alone. We have good and bad days, and I think that's all we can do and say at the moment. You never know if a good or bad day is coming. Mum has a scan next week, and we'll find out what's going on which will hopefully be a relief! xx ... View more
