I told my family took the kids off school early and my heart broke for them. Everyone was so upset today I didn't know what to do. All I could do was hug them, tell them I love them and that I'm going to fight all the way. They asked if Kevin was coming over to be with us and I said he is doing everything in his power to come to Ireland. And he won't stop till he is here with us. I need him here with me and the children where he belongs!
Hi my name is Mandy i was diagnosed with breast cancer in jan 2006,i know what you are going through ,your world must be falling apart,like mine did.It must be very hard not having you fiance with you,at least i had my husband.i,m not very good at writing but all i will say is you need someone to talk to who is going through or has been through breast cancer because they will be able to understand
ReplyDeleteJust found you on twitter...and wanted to stop by to give you some encouragement. I was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 27, almost 14 years ago! It IS beatable! You can do it!

Hi Catherine, it has been almost 2 years since I got the diagnosis of breast cancer, and it's so important for you to know you are never alone in this journey. There are thousands of women around the world that have walked this path before you, and so many of us here to make your journey easier. Don't feel guilty if you don't "feel positive." Cancer sucks. The treatment is not fun. It changes our lives forever. Many of those changes are positive, like how people will come from around the world to give you love and support. In the meantime, the most frightening part is the waiting to find out the next step. We are here for you! Questions? Just ask! I'll tweet you with some wonderful blogs to get you started. Hang in there luv, we're here!
ReplyDeleteps - here's where my journey started. Let me know how I can help!

Hi Catherine
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already seen it, you might like to join Breast Cancer Care's forum, where you'll find lots of other women who've been through a diagnosis of breast cancer. They're a really supportive bunch, answering questions, supporting each other, giving tips & advice etc.

Hi Joe,
My name is andrew mills. I am writing too you concerning my cousin Cathy who I am very close too. I will try to make this short, but maybe you can help answer the questions which we are having trouble understanding.
My cousin met a guy from the USA online and they hit it off, this was 2 yrs ago. His name is Kevin, a lovely black guy from a very respectful family in the US. Cathy and Kevin's relationship grew and they fell very much in love with each other. Cathy who has 3 children and lives in dolphins barn is crazy about this guy and he feels the same about her, you could almost say they are true soul mates. She went to visit him in the US for a couple of weeks approx 20 months ago, he treated her like a princess, she came home more in love than ever. He also came to Ireland and spent as much time as permitted in Dublin as was allowed. They have also met in canada for a week and had a wonderful time.
Here comes the problems, he was refused admittance to this country as they felt his intention was to move here, this was not the case. And she also has diffiulties getting into america as her passport it would seem is now flagged with his. They are on the interenet night and day to each other. He once bought her a fridge freezer and had it delivered when she mentioned her old one was giving her trouble, she was not hinting at him to do so, but that is the kind of guy he is.
They both have been onto the various embassy's, the visa departments, and anyone who will listen, but too no avail.
Yesterday cathy was diagnosed with cancer, she and our family are devastated by this news, and Kevin is at his wits end as all he wants to do is hold her in his arms and support her as much as possible. He would book a flight this day if he felt he would be allowed into the country, but as yet he is still waiting on an answer as to why he would be denied.
Both have stuck rigidly to the rules when it comes to visa's, never has either broken the terms of visiting each others countrys, and have no intention of doing so. All she wants is to see him, and until such a time as appropriate they will continue this way until one day they can marry. Cathy is 37, she is a sweet sweet girl, he is her prince charming, and my heart breaks for them both.
As I said at the beigining of this mail, all we want is a reasonable answer as to why these two lovely people would be denied access to see each other. Maybe you could help them find out.
Please please help.
Sincerely
Andrew Mills
