Hello everyone
It's been a long, long while since I came onto this site .... nothing to do with the cancer, but more for personal reasons ... The last time I came on here it was called What Now? I'm not sure what it's called now, but it looks different, and feels different and maybe it's time to move on and see these 'changes' as positive and once again embrace the support I generally got from the people on this site. It's a new year and time to put the past behind me, and I no longer feel nauseous when I think of / logon to What Now (don't ask!) - or the Macmillan Online Community as it looks to be called ... having just noticed the big green writing on the right hand side, doh!!
I revisited my profile and not much has changed since I last updated it, so that's good isn't it? I have breast cancer with bone mets and a couple of 'nodules' on my lung .... and now I have three monthly CT Scans, which (glass always half full!) is good because it means that any advances in my condition will be dealt with early on. Having said that I am determined to live life to the full and I try not to let my condition take over my life.
I have to say that, despite my 'cryptic' posting above, I have met some truly wonderful, amazingly brave and funny people on this site ... people who are now a very important part of my life, people who I hold dear in my heart and who I consider to be true and loyal friends ... and for that I will always be grateful for both the 'dreaded C' (yes, honestly!) and for What Now/MOC.
So, New Year, New Start .... Hello to friends ... old and new .... looking forward to contributing and being part of this community.
