Hello again,
Since treatment has finished, it's been mixed feelings. On one hand I feel incredibly fortunate the treatment is done and it's now a case of check ups. However I know there is something on my lung (which I'm told will be treatable) but what if one of those nasty little cancer cells has found it's way into somewhere else.
I try to banish the latter thought.
What have I learnt in a more positive vein.....
* To listen to my body and flag any concerns to my GP
* So far none of the treatment has been as bad as I thought it was going to be (maybe I was just lucky)
* How fortunate we are to have an NHS, when I'm up to it I will sign up for voluntary work with them, it is the least I can do.
* Family and friends are so important. They cheered me up and were there 100%. Seek out support, writing this blog has been a sort of therapy for me.
* I know it's a cliché but make the days count.
Having had the diagnosis and treatment it focusses the mind to get on and do the things you want to do.
Much love
