Life's been very tough for us as my youngest daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2004 had treatment for over 2 years, but unfortunately relapsed in 2006 she under went chemotherapy/ radiotherapy/cranial boost but had to under go a bone marrow transplant... We are 5 years on now and she is doing just fine although I feel I lost my way.... Gained a huge amount of weight over the years going from a size 16 to a size 28 tried all the diets going! Tablets, lighter life the lot and only now after about 2 years of talking about it my wish has come true I'm having the bypass next Monday 8th October I am nervous and excited a bit of mixed emotions just hope I making the right decsision as my girls are my life deep down I'm doing this not just for me but for my family too...
