Wishes for Kylie

My amazing cousin Kylie has Breast Cancer. She is 32 years old, married with 2 beautiful young children. It hits home - I am only one year older, also married, with three young children. How can someone so young face this battle for life. It is surreal, it does not seem possible.

But, it is. Bravely Kylie battles Breast Cancer head on. She has shared her journey with those around her - from allowing others to touch the lump so they too would know what to look for, to showing her post-op scar, to sharing her journey via messages on Facebook. Now with her final round of radiotherapy complete, and her body tender and burnt, she looks and hopes to a long and happy future.

So to Kylie, my dear cousin, this blog is for you. You inspire me to look beyond the negative, to share the good and the bad, to help others learn from my experiences, to think of others more, and to accept all the battle scars for they are part of the journey towards a happy future.

May your doctors appointment tomorrow be one to rejoice, and your future bright and cancer free. Oh and may your birthday in July be an occasion to pop open the bubbly!!!

Always
Michelle

1 - I have a friend whose sister is in a similar situation. She is blogging about her situation. It is both inspiring and humbling!
