Looking ahead for the New Year

Hello Megan (Megan- Macmillan) 

I hope you don't mind but I will jump in here and start this thread off:

* In 2025 I am looking forward to the birth of my second grand daughter in April.

* In 2024 - December 6 to be precise technically I became cancer free ( yes it can come back but I am cancer free now!!).

* To anyone else reading this "Keep the faith" we are all on a journey here - with the help and support from the Community and a positive attitude things can get better - trust your team and your support network and here's to a great 2025.

Happy New Year everyone.

Kind Regards - Brian.

Not at all Brian, thank you for sharing and for all your support this year as a Community Champion 

Hi all

For those of you who don't know I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions who looks after the Breast Cancer Forum and the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Forum. I thought I'd share what I'm looking for out of 2025.

I'm looking forward to going to France in June.

I'm grateful to be cancer free.

No matter how bleak things are looking like for some of you right now, things will get better and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Happy New Year everyone.

Thank you for sharing

Hello Megan,

Having become incurable but treatable for prostate cancer recurrence early in 2024 (went on to start triplet treatment, chemo element now completed):

Looking forward to -  foreign holidays in the sun alternating 4 weeks away / 4 weeks at home, repeated throughout the year. Starting on 3rd January in Lanzarote and planning US road trip for March, then whatever appeals after that. Might as well give the travel insurance a good caning.

Grateful for - getting through chemo with no major problems and PSA currently undetectable, as well as being fit enough to enjoy life.

Hopeful message - I've experienced lung cancer (2014, right pneumonectomy / adjuvant chemo with no recurrence so far), prostate cancer (HT / RT 2016) then recurrence early 2024 but still treatable. Goes to show that all is not always lost (although I do continue to have survivors' guilt).

I remain cautiously optimistic for 2025 and wish all a happy new year.

Derek.

Hi Megan. and thank you

 I have prostate cancer, not curable, and can be found on a few forums, but mainly on the LWIC forum.

LOOKING FORWARD TO, tomorrow my son and daughter in law are expecting twins.

I am best man at my aunties wedding in March, they have been together 62 years and have finally decided to tie the knot.

I will be getting married in July to my wonderful partner of 17 years,

and lots of holidays, to Scotland and the Scilly Isles.

GRATEFUL FOR, My partner, our four amazing kids, our 10 soon to be 12 grandkids, my first partner who is a huge part of all our lives, and my amazing cardiology teams who have given me 55 extra years despite the odds.

HOPEFUL MESSAGE, My eldest daughter has had cancer twice, both times she was told she was incurable, and both times she's proved hem wrong. and even on the LWIC, living with incurable cancer forum, one or two of the guys, defy the odds and are cured, and many are still were a lot longer than was thought possible.

My love and best wishes to everyone fighting this awful disease, including the wonderful people who's love care and support helps us every day.

Eddie

Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a lovely trip!
