But I realise that from the time Ruth was diagnosed and we were given this awful news … we were told, don’t get ahead of yourselves, there’s no guarantees. And then when she was in remission, we were told again, you can’t … you know there’s still a strong chance of recurrence. And that was the message that we were given constantly. Not just while she was on treatment but afterwards, and going back for scans, knowing what they were checking for … it was as if we’d never been told well you can begin to breathe more easily … it was the end of the protocol and suddenly there was nothing … just a cancelled appointment!
