TMJ PLEASE READ, and everyone else - about buttercup

Hi all

Just got a text from Buttercup asking me to post quickly for her until shes up to it!

TMJ/SUZANE– Buttercup asked me to tell you she got the message you wanted to talk to her and she’s so so sorry she hasn’t been in touch and her emails are also not working and to tell you she is fine and as soon as she can will get in contact and she hopes you are okay!

First of all about her, she’s at home and has finished her chemo but still very sick and weak, shes in a LOT of pain from both cancer and her CP which the infections she has are making her feel awful and have damaged a lot of her intestines which is causing trouble now aswell (they aren't sure if the treatment for them worked yet waiting on test results). She’s done really well to get through all of this, she didn’t consider giving up once and has been in good spirits despite how sick she got and how tired she is, her attitude is what has got us all thru, well her family! I haven’t rly been around much as im moving so been busy. But still have been to see her when I can. Anyway, once again her strength brings tears to my eyes and the road might not be so rough once shes got through the next few weeks we just have to pray and keep her motivated.

She wanted me to post to say shes so sorry she hasn’t been keeping you updated but as soon as she has the strength to type she will write to you all! She said she hoped to be able to post during chemo but that didn’t happen so that’s why she lost contact and shes sorry and hoped you didn’t notice she was gone too much

Hugs to u all

That is so wonderful that our Jess is at home and finished with the chemo. She is one strong young lady and we are all proud of her.

When you feel up to it we will be here waiting for a post from you. i hope you get the results of the tests on the intestinal tract soon.

So good to hear from her
