A Letter A Day… Nicky

Posted on September 22, 2014 by

It’s week four and today I have the privilege of posting Nicky’s letter. It begins, “Here’s the thing: in September 2010 I decided I had a brain tumour” and ends, “Cheers and let’s kick this disease in the butt, yeah?” Click on the link below to read Nicky’s powerful story of her MS diagnosis.

    Thanks for sharing my letter Gillian – and sorry about the f-bombs – oops! They make me sound a little crass, and I really am nice – I promise! I’ve been reading lots of the letters – they are really good to read – love this project.

      Your letter is fabulous. I think the f-bombs underline just what a shock it is to find out you have MS. I can edit them out if you’d like though. 🙂 Thanks again!

        As long as they won’t offend your readers, Gillian, leave them in. It’s really how I felt at the time. Thanks again. Such a privilege to be part of this project.

    September 2010 is one to forget (MS wise) as I had 2 epileptic seizures which led to my DX in December
