I enjoyed walking 4 - 10 miles once a week with friends always planning our route round a good pub for lunch.  I found a lump in my groin I thought was a hernia so went to see my doc.  She was amazing. Not 100% sure she sent me straight to the hospital where I was immediately admitted.  A biopsy.  A week later I was informed by &amp;#39;phone from a Dr at hospital that I had cancer in the lymph nodes and these would need to be removed.  That was Oct 2005.  Since then I have had two further cancers and have just finished 6 sessions of chemo.  The last one was the easiest to deal with because in can be treated.  Life is good each day whether I am dozing because I am shattered or am enjoying the company of my grandaughter. &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=224712&amp;AppID=19671&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="Ovarian cancer" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/Ovarian%2bcancer" /><category term="Hospital" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/Hospital" /><category term="colorectal" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/colorectal" /><category term="hernia" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/hernia" /><category term="chemotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/chemotherapy" /><category term="Retired" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/Retired" /><category term="biopsy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/biopsy" /><category term="metastatic" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/metastatic" /><category term="Melanoma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/tricias/archive/tags/Melanoma" /></entry></feed>
