I am on the other side of the world in Aust, but four years ago now I was diagnosed with TWO primary head and neck cancers. My children are grown up, my parents are ageing rapidly, but I can't imagine not having the will to beat the beast. That's why I love my quilting, I might not have enough time to finish everything that's in my head! I am hoping to be cancer free in another three years, I am such a sticky beak I don't want to miss out on anything life has in it. Please, have a change of heart and try some treatment, there is so much to be here for.dlw0656https://www.blogger.com/profile/17049129522824550401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-5903259830748469892012-12-17T12:38:40.636-08:002012-12-17T12:38:40.636-08:00Great inspiration and encouragement Julie.

This quilt is so how she felt about not letting cancer get her down. I love it, Julie. You seem to be such a warm and thoughtful person. <br /><br />Barb, I have two shoulders any time you need them. If I live where you live I would be more than glad to take you to chemo and sit with you after.

She is truely blessed to have a friend like you. We should all be so lucky. I know what a difference just one person caring for or having no one you can change your life.<br />I recently found out i have cancer and im trying to put chemo off or not take it at all. And the reason is i have no onein my life to care. All of my family are deceased and my only child, my daughter died in my arms. So what is left? Finding someone to take me to chemo and then come home and be alone? Im sorry to cry on your shoulder but the holidays are very depressing.
