One year on :-)

1 minute read time.

Hi everyone, I read post regularly but am a bit shy in writing myself, however today I feel I must.  It is a year today that I recieved the worst news that I had NSCLC, inoperable and terminal.  I remember feeling that I would not see Christmas with my gorgeous girls 8 and 12.  However one year on I have just returned from a huge family holiday in Spain and also took my hubby and girls to Cyprus in May and I feel on top of the world and my cancer is stable.  I feel like doing a dance today and sticking my two fingers up at the grave faces that greeted my 365 days ago, ha ha ha I am still here.   To all of you out there in MAC land never give up, I rememeber thinking when my consultant delivered his verdict "bollocks to that" and that had been my moto every since.

" Lifes to short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people that treat you right, forgive the ones that dont, and believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance take it, if it changes you life let it. Nobody said life would be easy they just promised it would be worth it"

This is my oldest daughters fav quote.

Hugs and Strength to you all

Helen

    Hi Helen, Great to hear how positive you are and that you are enjoying life with your husband and the girls.  Just do that happy jig and the two-fingered salute and keep on doing what you are obviously doing well.  Hugs and strength right back to you,

    Love, Heather xxxx
