redmoor 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) I work with a girl who is a veterinary nurse..she is 35y old and has a baby..she has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy..she still faces radiotherapy and possible further treatment after that. She shaved her head today rather than watch her long, blonde corkscrew curls fall out one by one. Instead of sitting feeling sorry for herself she is trying to raise as much money as she can for the charities that are helping her cope right now. If anyone can spare anything to try and help her, i cant put into words how appreciated it would be. Gill is an amazing person..through all of this she remains at work, when she can, and is positive and upbeat. Here is the link to her page... http://www.justgiving.com/gilliannelson Thank you.

redmoor 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 It puts all my silly little problems into perspective We all do that though..i faced cervical cancer last year..luckily they managed to 'get' all the bad cells and cut them out..but its a scary thing. Something like that makes you see life different..i used to lie in bed and wonder if i'd ever see my girls get married or get a job etc..i watch Gill coping with all of this and think she is amazing. We are all doing our bit to help her with fundraising etc..she seems to be putting all her effort/anger/fears into raising money - she feels that way that a positive will come out of what is happening. Hats off to her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry i didnt mean to upset anyone. We are all just so gutted for her and trying to help in anyway we can.
