Everything and everyone has been reduced - in colour, stature, size, personality, volume and being.
That is the effect of cancer on those it lives in and all of us around the person concerned.
But - reduced does not mean diminished, giving up, pathetic or game over. Simply recognition that this is yet again a period of transition and adjustment as we move from one stage to another.
On a more "in your face" approach - Ella found the picture below - which I meant to post on Halloween. It is very rude so please don't scroll down if you don't like swear words - but apply the sentiment/words to what we would like to say to cancer and it may help for a few seconds!
Brilliant....our thoughts too.
