You've handled all so gracefully and in such a giving fashion, and have blessed many with hope and courage...we are all so grateful!<br /><br />I'm still using my Paw Paw by the way...it's the best!<br />xoxo J~<br />24 Cornershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630767883910250689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-69442529101081859712012-10-17T18:01:01.598+11:002012-10-17T18:01:01.598+11:00Hi Jane

Agree, agree and agree with what you have written and I can so relate to the oven story - that is exactly how my brain works! It's a shame that blogging does go monetised and clique-ey...I guess it says something about human nature that everything becomes an enterprise. I need to start Instagram; I am all out the loop.

Your honesty regarding your experiences is very refreshing and completely agree with your sentiments regarding blogging.<br /><br />I was particularly touched by your bedtime post. I whole heartedly understand your sons worry as I lost my mother to BC when I was all grown up in my twenties and I can only imagine the concerns he has in his little mind. I think it must be very difficult for you, as our protective instincts naturally try and make everything right for our little ones so they don't have to feel the worry we do.<br /><br />I agree with you regarding the pressures people put on cancer patients to follow natural or alternative remedies. I really feel my mother died feeling like she failed because she couldn't cure herself with meditation and healing.<br />The most important thing you can do is take whatever treatment you can that is right for you and I 100% support getting the best medical treatment you can afford and if not getting your oven cleaned helps, do that too (or don't if you know what I mean) anything that gets you through is worthy. <br /><br />It sounds to me that your getting on with your life very well and whilst my mothers story was a sad one I know many many more stories with a happy ending.<br /><br />I am about to go look you up on Instagram as I have only just started one of my own.<br /><br />Hugs to you and your little one,<br /><br />Fiona x<br />Fi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-33963977701325483992012-10-05T07:36:43.203+10:002012-10-05T07:36:43.203+10:00hi Sophie

My daughter had a stroke aged 3, just on 4 years ago. It was 13 Sept, and we had been to a concert and swimming. Despite our positive outcome, I will never see that performer again or go to the pool with my girl on the 13th. For me I think it's that little bit of control I feel I have over something uncontrollable - if I don't do it nothing bad will happen. <br /><br />I used to work where you do, also as a lawyer (in fact at that time four years ago) and have great admiration for you, and thoroughly enjoy your blog. <br /><br />I'm not quite up with instagram yet, but if you like cute kittens on Japanese websites, you must follow this (via the creative finder on twitter) - <br /><br />http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/ben-torode-kitten-in-japan<br /><br />Warm regards<br /><br />Sophie.

I could NOT agree more, about how friendly, fun, light hearted & just happy Instagram is. It also reminds me of blogging years ago, i agree it's cliquey & living in Canberra, there ain't no cliques here!! I don't mind, i've always kind of stood alone, especially now i'm closing my business down after 12 years when most mummies are starting.<br />I think cancer is a very personal journey, no one has the right to say you have tried harder or been more positive than anyone else, or what treatment is right. Good on you for providing such healthy information. I can totally understand your superstitions, they make sense to you. FYI my soldier husband cleans an oven like no body, he even unscrews the elements & door, i married well & have NEVER cleaned an oven in my life.

So thoughtful, well put and full of insight. Blogging is hardwork, competitive, too opinionated and at times quite bitchy. Instagram on the other hand is quick, light-hearted, easy-on-the-eye, and spontaneous. <br /><br />Cancer sounds the absolute pits. I wouldn't judge anyone who's had it or how they choose to deal with it.

It sounds as if you have been told that this happens and, I'm sure it will pass in time.<br />I have yet to go down the Instagram route although I do have the App on my phone. I find it hardenough to post on my blog and only really post about once a fortnight which is enough for me. <br />I don't like this cliquey thing either where people that you don't know seem to love you !!!! I think that I have connected with a few people and think of them as penfriends which I rather like..... perhaps I need to go down the Instagram route !!!!<br />Keep well Jane .
