…to gush with pride over my daughter?!

DD is almost 16 and has this evening gone off to her prom looking absolutely stunning.

This is the same girl who, just 5 years ago, laid in a hospital bed full of tubes and drains following major abdominal surgery to remove a huge tumour.

Tonight is her night, and a big ‘fuck you’ to cancer. I am so incredibly proud of her and how she’s recovered both mentally and physically. I thank my lucky stars each and every day that she survived.

Oh how lovely, I hope she has had a wonderful evening Thanks

BabbleBee · 08/07/2021 22:29

Thank you all for your good wishes. The MN vipers at their worst Grin I had such fantastic support from here the day she was in surgery, so it’s nice to share the success story too.

The road to recovery has been a bumpy one. Life post cancer isn’t all sweetness and light, but days like today are definitely brighter.

@Iamsososoexcited best wishes to your friends, I’ll hold them in my thoughts.

@chinateapot child and cancer should never be in the same sentence. My daughter was 11 when she was diagnosed. Please give your girl an extra tight squeeze and tell her Babble and her now grown up girl send her love, light and sparkles Smile
