Truth

I have also realised why I have been finding it hard to blog. It is because I am not being honest and opening myself up. I am not comfortable sharing things with people but I must if I want people to trust me and open up to me.
Last week I had an appointment at Institute Bergonie ( the hospital where I was treated for cancer ) Bordeaux. Months ago during follow up tests from my illness something showed up in my right breast in a mamography. I was called back for a scan but nothing showed up. After a lot of humming and harring the doctors decided to check me again in 6 months - which was last week and all is well.
There is something very familiar and comforting about going to this hospital and having these tests - it was a safe place when I had cancer and everyone was looking after me. But now I have to let the cancer go, it does not belong to me and it is not who I am.
Its funny because I would much rather talk about you, not me but I need to truthful more about who I really am and what I am feeling to attract people who have had cancer or have cancer so I can follow my heart and support them.
I wrote this post the same day as the below one saying I was finding it hard to blog, the day before going to the hospital and I had already filled in the all is well bit. Sorry it took me a week to post it.

Merci Clare pour tous ces partages... ça fait circuler l'énergie... parler du cancer que tu as eu fait que tu ne le gardes pas pour toi, mais que tu partages une expérience de vie comme une autre... et ton expérience peut être utile c'est certain.
Il faut être trés courageux pour dire la vérité, sa vérité... et pour accepter d'être qui on est réellement et ne pas chercher à être une autre personne...
Tu es une personne lumineuse et trés belle... je te connais peu mais j'ai un trés bon "feeling"... ais confiance Clare, plus tu auras confiance, plus tu rayonneras comme un soleil !
