humbled

Hi Alan,

I think we spoke briefly in the chat room today, my grandad too has AML.It is understandable for you to have concerns about your cancer returning and you probably will always have concerns.  Hopefully when you reach the end of October safely in remission you could look on it as an important goal and in turn, becoming more hopeful and positive for your future.You are not a sad person and your cancer is just as important as anyone elses.  Sometimes its good to share your negative concerns so you can gain some positivity and understanding and piece of mind.

My grandad knows he can talk to me about anything whether it be general, negative, positive or realistic.  

Don,t be hard on yourself you have been through a lot and the light at the end of the tunnel may seem small at present, but, i'm sure that light will grow. x

Hi Alan It is nice to hear that you have been in remission for almost 2 years, My husband did not get 2 weeks remission as we were told in May that there was no evidence of disease and 10 days later his counts crashed and it was back. He will be pleased to hear that you can achieve remission for years rather than weeks.

Take care and celebrate your 2 year anniversary

Hi Alan.................I think that you will find that those of us that are lucky enough to have gotten in remission do worry about it returning at some point. It crosses my mind occassionally but for me I am enjoying my remission and will continue to do so for has long has that may be. (six months so far). With this kind of site it lets you know that you are not alone when the dreaded cancer strikes and on What Now we all fought our cancers together and with this site it should stay that way. Take care x
