Chapter 1 - The Call - July 7th 2009
'Hello, can I speak to Miss Somerville please.'
'Yes, speaking, ' I said cheerfully.
'It's North Middlesex Hospital Gynaecological here, We would like you to come in and see us as soon as possible please.'
'Why, what's wrong.'
'The consultant would like to see you about your test results,'
Shit.
I immediately thought. 'Does that mean I have cancer?'
'I'm afraid I cant discuss that, I just make the appointments.'
'But it must mean I have cancer, or else you wouldn't be calling me.'
'I'm so sorry Miss Somerville, it's best if you come in and speak to the doctor tomorrow.
Panic flooded through every inch of my body. Shit, feel sick, shit. Interrupted by the sound of my angel daughter, 'Mummy!'
Yes darling, I replied, I'm coming.'
My girl, Indyana, aged just 2 years and 2 months at the time needed me. And I knew at that second, my life had just changed irrevocably.
