Idea Well now, don't know really what to say ....................................................................

Went about in a daze all day yesterday, just like when I was first diagnosed last April. 1st Reaction was "Right!!! What room is going to get it first?" (House been left undecorated since diagnosis.)

2nd Reaction was a major thank you sent out to the cosmos. As with all my treatments, the dates landed on ironic anniversaries and this news was no different. It was the 17th anniversary of my aunt Babs, who I always looked on as my mum, so much love, warmth and healing she gave me as a kid, which I carried through my life; today was special in that very same way somehow........ The sky brightened up, the sun came out today even more; and although I am still quite numb by this good news, I have cried once more; perhaps this time tears of Joy mixed with sadness and missing my aunt, I just don't know. Many many people have congratulated me over the last 24 hours of which I say in return, "many many thanks for all your wonderful support, hugs etc"

I will be back, (as still have to go through preventative surgery on the other side and the ovaries!!) But the weight that has been lifted from my shoulders is tremendous, only hope now that I can put on the proper weight needed now as well as keep up my immune system.

One thing to say folks: "Cancervive". speak soon xxxx

What wonderful news! I can understand the mixture of emotions - it may take some time to sink in, but shout it from the rooftops.

So, so thrilled for you.

Hi Donna,

Think maybe we all do understand just what this means, a lot of us have been with you on a lot of the journey, we have been with you, nut you are the one with the pain, the doubts and the uncertainty.

You have been through so much but you have carried on, you have fought and tried to be so positive. There are many on here who have been inspired by your courage and fight, I certainly was in awe of you at times.

But maybe the most important thing you have done is try to protect your extended family by facing the gene testing and screening, alerting others to it despite the surgery and tratments you faced personally.

Understand you need a break - just be kind to yourself, yes get some haggis down ye - maybe a few fattening cream cakes and try to pig out for a while.

Donna never forget you are part of the Mac Family, Your Good News is ours - we shared the tears - now we share the joy. You have raised our spirits and given other hope.

Love and Hugs Mate to You and Yours xxxxx
