Standing Up To Cancer

Not a lot of people know about the history with my daughter’s father, in fact not a lot of people even know who he is. I’ve never mentioned him really, I’ve always tried to keep our relationship very private. We were friends long before we ever dated, my Mom actually worked for his Dad’s company that he now also runs with his Sister. Obviously being more than friends didn’t work out for us, and that’s okay because we still got our beautiful little Elsie out of it. Our relationship hasn’t always run smoothly, for whatever reasons, but we’re now on the right path and finally sorting things out so that Elsie can get to know her Dad and her younger brother.

What I really wanted to talk about though is Peters journey over the last 2 and a half (ish) years. I’ve never shared this information with anyone other than close family and friends as I’ve always felt it’s not my business to share, but Peter has decided that he wants to talk about it and has made a YouTube Channel that I wanted to share with you all. Whether you take a look and gain some awareness, or whether you know someone that might benefit from the videos, they’re worth checking out.
To cut a very long story short, Peter has Stage 4 Melanoma which started off as a small mole and has metastasised over the last 2 years. I know that he’s had a really rough time with hospitalisations and operations and obviously dealing with the news in the first instance, but it’s also been really hard on everyone around him, his girlfriend, his family and my family. It’s something we’ve all had to try and process in our own ways and to be honest, I’m really glad that he’s decided to talk about it now. I think the message that he’s giving out in his videos is really positive and could really help other people, even if it’s helping peoples families to understand what that person is going through. So without further ado..this is his story so far and please follow the link below to his YouTube Channel and all the other videos.
