Hey...not done this before

1 minute read time.

Well as the title says I've not done this before but I thought I'd give it a go.

I've been a member of this site for some while now, I joined whilst I was going through treatment, I did however find it hard to be on here at times, I guess it reminded me that sometimes it doesn't all work out, and at the time I was feeling very low. However, I am pleased to say that I'm not feeling so low now, I've been in remission for a whole three months.

Being is remission is great, the best feeling ever I guess, I seem to have spent pretty much all my adult life either fighting cancer or being remission, not quite made it to the all clear stage. However, sometimes I think I am move scared of the cancer coming back than I was when I had it. I lie awake at night worrying about what I will decide to do if it comes back.

Throughout all this my partner has been ace, the best of the best however sometimes I think he thinks well your not having treatment, your not ill stop worrying, stop wondering about the 'what ifs', I wish I could just explain to him that it isn't that simple and I know he thinks like that because he thinks that it will do me good but it's not.

This morning I lost my rag with him over there being no milk in the fridge, completely pathetic I know but sometimes, he forgets about cancer and the problem is I don't.

Anyways, kinda rambled on a bit.

    Hi Joner,

    Your partner is not far wrong if we all thought negative thoughts we would be miserable and down

    all the time. Take what you said early on in your

    blog. Being in remission is great. I have been in remission now for 10yrs and live day by day.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi Joner, dont worry about being 'short fused'. I'm still a bit that way after 2 years. We are all scared, no shame in that. Anyone who hasn't got/had cancer cannot possibly understand how we feel. I often spit the dummy out but laugh about it after.

    There's been a lot of research into whether or not a positive attitude affects the outcome in cancer, and the results are pretty conclusive - it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. So don't worry about having the odd "down day", it just means you're normal.
