Hard Conversations
10 March 2024Hi all. Just a quick update from us.
Firstly, we want to say thank you all for your generosity. It's been really heartwarming getting all your messages, and koha, be it on here, or offers to help with life admin, it's all been super helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Last week we plucked up the courage to talk to our girls about what this years news meant for us. It was easily one of the hardest conversations Anna or I have ever had 💔. Our girls are just as gutted as we are, and we are grateful for the support they are getting from their friends families, and the wider Island Bay community ❤.
In that same week, due to the radiotherapy, Anna's hair started falling out, but Anna turned that into a positive, inclusive experience by letting our youngest, Gloria, shave what was left of it off. It was a fun afternoon 🙂.
Anna is doing a bit better now than she was a few weeks back, but a short walk up and down our street is about her physical limit at this stage. Short visits by well wishers are appreciated, but are also quite exhausting.
We are still unsure of what options we might have available going forward, but hope to have a conversation with Anna's oncologist Monday week to see what the best way forward is.
Thank you all.
