I have been in hospital now for a week,i met a young girl she is in the main part of the ward,sadly there are more elderly ladies in her bay,so she just kinda started talking to me like me she doesn,t sleep well,well she obviously asked me why i didn,t have any hair so she knew it was either alopicia or chemo,so i explained why i was having chemo,and i also told her about my back,then i natually asked why she was here,she explained that for almost eight month,s now she has been getting bad pain,s in her leg,s and back,she told me they had done many test,s because they thought she may have arthritis,sadly tonight this vibrant young 23yr old was told that she has inoperable bone cancer which sadly has spread pretty fast,her parents were in a hellava state and they have left about 3 hours ago,also poppy has to ask if she can come into my room due to the bugs i have,thankfully she has been allowed to come and chat with me,i feel so very very sad that this young girl no older than my own son has been given such terrible new,s,her parents have gone home because poppy has to have more treatments etc, and she cannot be discharged yet due to her on going test,s,well this girl took one look at me and i her we both ended up in tears,i am 46yrs and have had a little bit of a life this girl hasen,t,had a chance to fullfill her dream,s [she wants to work as an accountant]i felt honuored that this young girl has chosen to come to me to talk about her feelings etc, well it is now almost 2am but i do not mind [i don,t sleep very well anyway]she has just gone back to bed and the poor girl is exhausted i hope that the doctors can help this girl have a longer life and live it to the fullest and hopefully fullfill her dream,s,i think it is so sad that a girl who has barely lived her life should be given such terrible new,s,this is a site for us to talk about our life story,s i wanted to tell poppy,s story and i have given her this website address,i hope she,ll come to D/S and that like me she can make friend,s and know that she is not alone,i pray she has a longer life hopefully without pain,so this is poppy,s life
