Liberating experience

Less than one minute read time.

I got my PICC line out after my last round of chemo. I requested this as it was really getting to me. I know this may sound silly but I felt as if I got my body back.

I was a little anxious about going swimming since I only have the one boob now but then suddenly today I thought, 'to hell with it' and off I went to the pool. I got changed and headed out into the pool area lob sided but happy. No one even looked and even if they did I didnt notice. I have suddenly felt so much more confident about my body-weird isnt it, they way your view on life can change?

    Good for you Val Well Done!

    I was in the pool this morning and I didn't look promise LOL

    Seriously I know what you mean. I felt the same when I got my Hickman line removed. Another step closer to normality.

    I hope you continue to feel good.

    Good Luck Love Julie X

    Welcome to your new life Val. 10/10 to you for going swimming.  I wear a spongy thing but I haven't got your guts as I only went once - 2 years ago!  I'll have whatever you have and maybe I might just go again.  Ann x
