My local hospital had referred me to a specialist bone cancer hospital but had neglected to tell me.&amp;nbsp; So there I was at 9 at night with a traumatic awareness that the lump at the side of my knee that I had for at least 9 months and was nothing to worry about (GP, Basildon hospital and Orsett hospial told me this) to find actually they now considered it to be cancer and I needed two full days of tests.&amp;nbsp; I am sure I dont need to explain to anyone on here the anxiety, tears and terror that came over the coming weeks.&amp;nbsp; On the 21 June 2010 I had the cancer removed and was so very lucky that I did not need any further treatment.&amp;nbsp; Cancer has changed my life and I know I am extremly lucky that compared to most I have had a relatively easy cancer journey.&amp;nbsp; This is my first blog but I just wanted to share my first anniversary as it is hard to explain to people who live without travelling our cancer journies what this day means to mean.&amp;nbsp; Keep kicking cancer&amp;#39;s butt everyone and if I could send you all some of the luck that I have had I would.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=423256&amp;AppID=31788&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="Hospital" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/diane1/archive/tags/Hospital" /><category term="Bone cancer" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/diane1/archive/tags/Bone%2bcancer" /><category term="anxiety" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/diane1/archive/tags/anxiety" /></entry></feed>
