I was drawn to your blog by...Hullo lovely Nathalie. <BR/><BR/>I was drawn to your blog by Soph and Jack's animation but spent ages last night reading through it and visiting some of your favourite sites. All very special and it is wonderful that you are sharing this journey of recovery and discovery with us. <BR/><BR/>I had the same operation at 41, 12 years ago, due to early ovarian cancer. The really hard part for me was the death of my much-loved mother from breast cancer 2 weeks after I got out of hospital. The combined grief and confusion about where I finished and Mum began was tough.<BR/><BR/>I'd encourage you to keep talking to friends of all ages as you journey on because I now reflect on how early menopause impacted on me and most of the symptoms I ascribed to grief. It's only now that my friends are hitting menopause that I realise how many of the feelings and experiences related, at least in part, to the extreme hormonal changes that I'd undergone. But, like you, I took the opportunities that arose from the illness and am certain that my life has been blessed as a result. And I am healthy.<BR/><BR/>Love and light to you my dear and all nourishing things, but most of all love.<BR/><BR/>June (Soph's Mum)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
