Wolo Foundation

The reality of living with cancer 😔 Re-posted and names removed from one of the families we are supporting to ensure anonymity. Sending them so much love right now 💛💛💛💛 Today I am tired Tired of cancer Tired of my daughter asking if I’m ok everytime she hears me cough Tired of coughing Tired of travelling to London for treatment that we aren’t clear is working Today I am tired Tired of side effects, eyebrows and lashes just exactly where are you going? Tired of the cold cap, it’s hell, but a different kind of hell to being bald Tired of blood tests, scans, ECGs, biopsies, X Rays and everything else we are counting on to have even a minor celebration Tired of hearing ‘you’ve got this!’ Or ‘you can fight this’. No, no I haven’t and no I won’t win Today I am tired Tired of being in my head, a mess of excitement for plans with confusion about the future Tired of the pain in my husband’s eyes everytime he looks at me, scared Tired of thinking about how will they cope when I’m gone? Who will take my daughter wedding dress shopping and hold my sons hand when he has his heart checked? Tired of the aches and pains, breathlessness and exhaustion Today I am tired I might be tired, but I am alive and tomorrow is a new day www.wolofoundation.org #healing #positivity #gratitude #recovery #charity #cancercommunity #cancerawareness #mentalhealth #cancerresearch #mentalhealthawareness #cancerwarrior #cancersurvivors #cancerprevention #cancerousmemes #cancerawareness #cancersupport #cancers #cancerresearch #cancersign #cancerfighter #cancersurvivor #cancersucks #cancer #cancerfree #weonlyliveonce #wolo
