The Breast Cancer Surprise
My nickname is Swan. I am 6 years old. My Mummy had breast cancer when I was 4 years old. It was a bit scary because I was so young and I didn’t know anyone whose Mum or Dad had breast cancer. It was a bit weird because Mummy’s hair fell out including her eyebrows.
I drew this picture when I was 5. The creatures with spikes are sucking all the patience out of Mummy’s patience cells, because she got a bit more impatient when she had cancer. The bottom patience cell, the big purple one, has already had all of its patience sucked out.
The creamy bits are falling down on the big creamy cell because the one with horns is sucking out patience and has crashed all the cells together and the cream one is dripping down to form a different, big cell at the bottom. That’s a cancer cell and it’s a big one. This is all inside her boobs.
I’m very happy that it’s all over and that it was over a year ago now.
