Daffodil Day: Cancer survivor Gillian's fears for future after months of gruelling treatment

She said: “It was crazy because my mam was recovering and I suppose I took over then.“It’s only now we’re survivors we can talk about what happened.”Gaynor French - Daffodil DayA grandmother diagnosed with breast cancer six years ago told how she booked her own funeral just days later.Gaynor French, now 47, admitted she thought the diagnosis was a death sentence.The former biology lecturer from Co Roscommon said: “I thought that was it. I lost my mother-in-law from my first marriage to it. I also looked after a little girl whose mother died of it.“I thought I was a goner but now the treatments are so much more advanced.“The hospital care is so good your head doesn’t get a chance to catch up until a year after the chemo, the radiography, everything.“I can’t praise them enough.”However, four-and-a-half years after her diagnosis, Gaynor went back to her doctor feeling tired and learned she had stage four metastatic breast cancer.The mother of three and granny of one was given six months to live if she didn’t respond to chemo.She said: “Two years later, I’m still going strong.

Around Pasadena: Florist spreads cheer with flower giveaway

Wharton at the giveaway was fellow employee JoAnn Baker, of Pasadena, and Wharton's mother, Winnie Maher, owner of Maher's Florist, 8095 C Edwin Raynor Blvd. Maher's Florist visited three locations in the area, handing out 250 bunches of flowers to unsuspecting locals. Their first stop of the day was Chick-fil-A in Glen Burnie. After nearly two hours, the women had handed out 174 bouquets of fresh-cut flowers. Their next stop was Park Plaza in Severna Park and they finished the day at Chesterfield Plaza, in Pasadena, next to their store. The event was a success, says Maher, who enjoyed participating in the event. "People have been so receptive," she said. The biggest challenge when preparing for the event was finding businesses willing to participate, Wharton said. "People were afraid that we would disrupt the business day," she said. Wharton considered giving flowers to people outside of hospitals and military sites, but they were told it was not allowed due to no-soliciting laws and security reasons. When Wharton approached Chick-fil-A owner Bill Johnson about the campaign, he was very welcoming and accommodating. Maher opened her flower shop in Pasadena nearly 40 years ago. She "semi-retired" 10 years ago after handing the business over to her daughter. Wharton started working at her mother's shop while attending college to become a nurse. "I actually started loving flowers more than I did nursing," she said. What started out as a part-time job, turned into a passion. "I think about flowers constantly," she said, "I love it." For more information about the campaign, visit https://safnow.org/. To contact Maher's Florist, call 410-255-8181. New officers Chesapeake High School's chapter of Future Business Leaders of America elected officers for its 2016-17 school year. The officers represent the school in a positive way while fulfilling their given duties. Each student had to prepare a speech to give to members before they voted. The president is Esther Kim, vice-president is Haley Klein, treasurer is Hannah Klein, secretary is Emily Fagley and the parliamentarian is Molly Moore. Church event St. Jane Frances de Chantal Church, 8499 Virginia Ave., will host "Inviting Catholics Home," for Catholics who have been away from the church. The church will host three sessions 7-8:30 p.m. on Oct. 27, Nov. 3 and 10 in the Muth room of the lower church. Guests are encouraged to attend each session. There will be prayer as well as an opportunity to share and discuss in a comfortable atmosphere. Pre-registration is not required.
