So they were like, what day are you back?

I gave them the date I was coming back.

And we went off on holidays and sure, I couldn't, I just couldn't sleep the whole holiday.

I got on with it for Alan and the kids, you know, and I was like, just pulling myself together now, get through this holiday.

Luckily, my sister-in-law was with us and my friend ended up coming over for her husband and kids as well.

And they were trying to keep me occupied, but I knew what I was coming home to face like.

And then the last day of my holiday, my phone rang and I was like, I'm still in Tenerife, like, and they were like, are you home yet?

And I was like, my flight's tonight.

They were like, you need to come into us in the morning and you need to bring your husband.

And I was like, I know it's cancer.

I know it is.

What are my options?
