I have just started seeing a therapist at our Hospice Centre... the therapists at the cancer clinic were not all that helpful unfortunately. I do not think I can get my daughter to go ... she has a young son.. my only grandson 🙂 who is 8 yrs old and can be quite a handful.. she is very busy with all his activities... however, she is doing much better since I have been hiding my emotions from her... I learned alot from that message I had posted... it really helps to show strength and not weakness...
My immediate family... 4 sisters and my mom live about 1200 miles from me in the East Coast of Canada... my sisters know I have cancer, but I chose not to tell my mom, with suggestions from my sisters... I agreed not to tell her because it will weaken her and she is getting old.. it will not fix my cancer, so I agree she does not have to know...
what is really sad however is that I go to the east coast every year and did not go this year. I told my mom that we were really busy at work and that work asked me to cancel my vacation.. even though the doctor put me off of work since my Diagnosis in Dec 2018... I hate not being truthful to my mom, but I know God will forgive me because it is for a good reason. I did not go to visit this year because of the PVT blood clot I got in May... afraid the long drive will cause me to get another clot... the doctor did put me on eliquis for life...sigh...
