Louise’s Thoughts

Cancer has taught me to live life to the full.
Cancer has taught me to forget the fancy career and enjoy being a mum.
Cancer has taught me not to care how old I get or how many wrinkles are on my face, but to be glad to be alive.
Cancer has taught me that we can all still look beautiful with a scar on show.

Cancer has taught me to be selfish sometimes and selfless other times, but to never beat myself up about it.
Cancer has taught me that there’s always someone out there having a harder time than you.
Cancer has taught me that my mum is very brave, strong and kind.

Cancer has taught me that you can battle all you like but it decides whether you live or die.
Cancer has taught me not to be scared to mention the word cancer to those who have it – to ask the person with cancer how they feel rather than those around them.

Cancer has taught me to do everything I want to do now, not next week or next year.
Cancer has taught me to listen to my body.
Cancer has taught me that I shouldn’t be scared to try something new.
Cancer has taught me that life can be too short, so not to waste a minute of it.

Cancer has taught me that no amount of money can buy you health, happiness or love.
Cancer has taught me that my kids are the most precious things in the world.
Cancer has taught me to be me.
