And 2017 Was Supposed To Be Better

from WinCustomize Forums

Well the bad news didn't stop coming with the new year, as we'd all hoped, and this time it is a lot closer to home for Shaunna and myself.

As some of you would know, Shaunna is in Tasmania visiting with her Daughter, Bianca, and her grandchildren, but sadly this trip hasn't turned out as happy as previous ones.  While Shaunna and Bianca were in Launceston taking care of a few things, Bianca took a bad turn and immediately asked for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, which is very, very unusual as she always hated the sound of all emergency vehicles and wouldn't willingly get into an ambulance unless it were serious.

Anyway, in cutting to cut to the chase, Bianca was assessed at the Launceston General Hospital and tests revealed that she has liver cancer.   How bad it is has yet to be determined, but hopefully tests next week will reveal that it is in the early stages and it can be treated without too many ill effects.  The thing is, she is 26 and a fighter, so she has a good chance of beating it if the cancer hasn't progressed too far.  Well that's the hope.

Now I don't know how many of you are religious or not, so I'll ask for hope and positive vibes... prayers from those who wish to pray.

Thank you.

 I hope your daughter gets the care and treatment she needs to survive this. And I hope you both have the love and support you need to get through it.

Thanks sViz I sure hope she does too x_x

I just got the dreaded call that I did not want to hear Bianca has stage 1 liver cancer and has been given 6 months to live but they are wanting to send her to Melbourne for treatment but she says she don't want treatment cos she is pregnant again she says for me not to rush back shes fine oh hell why am I being punished

So sorry to hear this news Mrs S...

I hope once the shock wears off and she's thinking clearly, she'll head for Melbourne for treatment.... the kids she already has need their Mother to give herself the best chance she can to have her around for as long as possible.

That's the hope, if not for herself then the kids... but sadly, you can lead a horse to water, etc, etc....

I have yet to say my piece about all this to Bianca, but she usually listens to me and mulls it over before coming to a decision, and I just hope it's the right one and not too late.
