Kelly Clery
Struggling so much I don’t know how I’m going to get through this week.
Today especially as your doctors appt was today and you said No more treatment I relive this conversation over and over. Why you, why did you go 💛
20th January 2014
Oncology appointment
The day had arrived to see what treatment was available. Her doctors talked us through things and Kelley turned to him and said is this treatment going to make me better. He replied and said No Kel but it will give you more time. Kelly is down to 39 kilos now and her strength is so weak. The doctors talked about side effects of this chemo and Kelly asked even though she researched if she would loose her hair. No one could touch Kelly’s hair.
Kel turned to me and said Mum what should I do, I wanted her to say so badly yep lets do this, but she looked at me and grabbed my hand and said I’m sorry Mum I cant do it, its going to make me sicker and I am just so tired and I can’t fight this anymore.
I put my head in my hands and sobbed like a baby, she hugged me and said its okay mum I gave it the best fight I could but I can’t do it.
The doctors talked to us about thing and they asked Kelly if she had any questions. Kelly asked how long, he started to reply and I said I don’t want to hear this, I don’t want to know how long left I have with my daughter. I waited outside and sobbed.
About 20 minutes later the team of doctors wheeled Kelly back out, she was cracking jokes with them and laughing. The doctors looked at me and smiled and whispered you have one amazing daughter. I replied I know…..
We were driving home over the westgate and I asked Kel how did you go with the doctors, the cheeky bu**er said you didn’t want to know. I want to hear it from you…
She grabbed my hand and said Mum I have 2 – 4 weeks, I turned and looked at her and screamed NO….
I cried all the way home and she held my hand so tight reassuring me that it was okay. This brave kid thinking about me and not herself. Wiping my tears as I drove .
Now how was I’m going to tell her sisters and brother.
I rang her Dad and broke down and told him, he drove home as soon as he could and just held her so tight and cried. I rang Simone as soon as I got home and she broke down into tears,
Megan was at home already and went into her room and broke down. I rang her brother at work and he collapsed they got him a taxi to come home. Our house was quiet no one knew what to say.
Kelly’s best mates came over and I told them, they cried and screamed and I left them to have some time with Kel. She was making them laugh and telling them that she was going to be okay.
She wasn’t scared….. she just didn’t want to leave everybody…
