Hi to all.. i have just finished 5 weeks of pelvic radiotherapy, it was so hard at times, that i cried and cried and some nights couldnt sleep..the soreness was nothing what i expected, but you deal with this all from some inner strength that we dont know we have until we ned it..i consider my cancer a journey, and it has made me realise how precious life is, and how much i was taking things for granted..my life has changed so much in the last 18 months, and now there is hope that i can get back to some sort of normality..i believe that staying strong (even though this is really hard at times) helpsmore than giving in as the cancer is still there when i finish cryin,, so it is doing me no good to sob and sob and sob ,although i do cry but nnot for long..and being positive is good to...i feel as though i am back in control of my life and that cancer isnt my life although it will always be in it...
