Well, my Nan isn't the most well adjusted person. She's quite, she, she's very neurotic and she's very much a hypochondriac, especially about, especially when it comes to me who she's completely obsessed with [slight laugh]. And, and really although she tried to hide it from me extremely badly she's very concerned about this, you know, anxious. She's not, she's never showed that she's upset really, but she was, she does get extremely worried about the whole thing and really, and at first my prime concern, sort of my little project was to, was to comfort her and, you know, by, by being strong. Like, that's the way I've, that's the way I've done it, and carrying on as normal. But I still know that she's extremely anxious, anxious about it and she keeps, and she just keeps on saying that, well “Every one is one less.” About the, about the treatments which isn't that comforting really, but she keeps on saying it as the only way that she really copes with the whole thing. And it's just been pushed under really rather than actually solved the problem, with, with her.
And what about your mum, dad, how have they reacted? How they have coped?
Well, well from what I know now they were of course extremely worried by the, by the whole thing, but we, we almost pretty much hid that side of things from each other that we were really quite anxious about it and, sorted it into sort of my pragmatic view on the thing. That you know, just it was only matter of having so many treatments and it wasn't a great deal to get worried, worried about. And you know, generally, they've been, they've been really, really good about it. And they, and they've coped very well. But I've still, but I've still made sure that I've remained positive for them and I think that's, was, helped a great deal. And also they are quite strong people. |
