Awake and up all night

That's brilliant news Sarah.

It's great to hear that sort news when I'm just over a week into my cancer journey. It's all very new, shocking and scary for me at the moment, so news likethis  is very uplifting.

Thanks very much for sharing xx

Brilliant news Sarah and very encouraging for us all!

Well done Sarah

No celebrations really today I’m afraid, Gill! Had a very stressful day yesterday at the phone shop with my broken since December phone, so had a treat of a small piece of carrot cake and a cup of tea to get over that. My phone is STILL not working so I’m lucky to have the iPad. 

Normally I might celebrate with a small tipple, but trying to keep my calories down! I’ll just glug down some virtual champagne-so thank you for that.

Hi Julie

Thank you-things are very difficult when we start out on this scary road. Once you hear the word cancer, you can never unhear it, and it just fills your head all the time. 

Things do get better, most definitely. I always tried to keep a positive mindset where I could and my sense of humour. I’ve had a lot of very tough times, but so far come through everything I’ve faced and I really hope it gives encouragement to anyone starting out. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you Linda. Trying to spread a bit of positivity around today for us all to share!

Thank you Helen. I can hardly believe it’s been 6 years since that very long day in the operating theatre!

Hello Doreen, I think it is human nature to sometimes reflect on what you've been through, particularly if the symptoms have been tough to endure and the treatment arduous. The way I try(!!) to look at it is that I've somehow ploughed through it all and today I'm relatively ok, just getting old. Feeling scared is more likely during the long Winter nights or when the weather is miserable. I often find a you-tube video of a peaceful tropical beach to distract myself if I've run out of music or reading material. If all else fails, I visit this forum or the one for bladder cancer. There's usually someone to lift one's spirits or even someone who is having an even harder time who may appreciate friendly chat from a fellow traveller. Best wishes, Ray x  

You're welcome Sarah xx I forgot to supply these  your OH can have a virtual glug too! Hoping your phone gets sorted out hon xxx

Great news
