does it say much of me?...

Here's a little poem written by Shauna to start us all off:

Does it say much of me when I smile
Does it say much of me when I weep
Does it say much of me when I wait a while
Does it say much of me when I am weak

Does it say much of me when I break
Does it say much of me when I care
Does it say much of me when I take
Does it say much of me when I dare

Does it say much of me
When the world tears down
And all my walls are crumbling
And my smile turns to a frown

Does it say much of me
When the hero inside falls away
And submits for the human to see
The truth I am, the truth to stay

For all I am is not much of me
I steer the world unmasked and free
I hold my head, my pride, my strength
Till the day, on that day when I meet my death.

So the actual poem is really long, 2 pages in fact. Its Shauna trying to find herself. Not many of you may know this but we do have an external service that provides some support and helps Shauna get "coping skills" for all she's being put through. No, its not a therapist - just so you all understand. And her name is Diana. Diana asked Shauna to put together somehow a way of her showing her feelings about her memories and her being through the trauma. She wrote this. Its her expression and I asked if I could put bits of it on the blog, if you want the entire thing, I'll post it here or Shauna can email you. Comment on the blog or ask her for it...

She's much better today, or at least since this afternoon. Maybe the Kryptonite's starting to finally wear off? Who knows. And yesterday, she had such an inspiring visit from Tyler who has his final chemo tomorrow. Another survivor against cancer! Something to definitely celebrate! Even if its just one, that one can make a difference to many.

We'll be continuing with treatments for the week and physio too. Monday we'll do some tests on her. And I will post those results when I get them probably Thursday or Friday. And I do have some feedback from Dr Elche and Dr Adams to post, I just don't think I should do that now. I need to run off but next update will have all that info

Thanks for reading
