Athens was fantastic, as always (cor my throat doesn't half hurt nowadays from the pollution, until I get out of the city), aside from having to avoid some of my fave places due to extreme violence and tear gas. I have a rather good couple of tales to tell , but at the mo, I'm feeling very down in the dumps and a bit frantic.Those who have been around for a while will remember I lost my 37 old cousin to ovarian cancer almost 3 years ago.
Now my 36 year old cousin ( a girl too), on the same side of the family, has been diagnosed with a brain stem glioma (an aggressive cancerous brain tumour).
Aside from being very upset and worried, I am also feeling quite frightened, that I and other members of my family might be at risk too. A selfish thought, but what the hell is going on, I don't know. Is it cruel, cruel coincidence or is there something more sinister afoot? I'm going to have a chat with my doctor tomorrow, in the hope that she'll give me a bit of sound advice.
So sorry for being elsewhere, but right now, I don't know whether I'm coming or going....
Update: Doc has put my mind at rest about family connections and lack thereof.
