One year today my cancer journey started at about 9pm when I returned home from work to find answer phone message from a hosptial I had never heard of. My local hospital had referred me to a specialist bone cancer hospital but had neglected to tell me. 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. I am sure I dont need to explain to anyone on here the anxiety, tears and terror that came over the coming weeks. On the 21 June 2010 I had the cancer removed and was so very lucky that I did not need any further treatment. Cancer has changed my life and I know I am extremly lucky that compared to most I have had a relatively easy cancer journey. 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. Keep kicking cancer's butt everyone and if I could send you all some of the luck that I have had I would.
