Saying Hello

I thought I would take the time to introduce myself. Please click on my profile for full information. However, I am 66, retired from NHS - worked as Learning Disability Specialist Nurse, with families of disabled children for most of my career.

I’ve had a strong faith in Jesus since my mid-thirties. I’m an Anglican by heritage but feel part of something much bigger than denominations, which I think have caused more problems than brought people to a full and lasting faith.

anyway, I have been a Licensed Lay Minister for 20 years, love talking about Jesus and am so thankful for his company on my cancer journey. I’m now facing up to the fact that my life will end much sooner than expected. I have advanced womb cancer, spread to peritoneal area and lungs. I had chemo and it was effective but 4 months later it has returned. Looks like I might be having immunotherapy next. Waiting to see my Consultant again on 1st November. I’m hopeful but have gone through the business of being angry and very sad and am still a bit in shock. I’m hanging on to my faith and know that on the bad days, he still hangs on to me.

grateful to find this forum and looking forward to hope-filled conversations. 
It will be good to get to know people who are also on a similar pathway.

love to all

  • Thank you….and sorry just noticed my typos!    Yes I thought I could find this group in my groups but I couldn’t …it was easier to find under the old way. X

  • I just clicked on your community name and looked in your groups and yes, this group is not on the list - it looks like there are still some issues  after the community team moved some groups around.

    So in theory you will need to join the group again - sorry about this ((hugs))

  • Thanks Mike I thought it was me last night, it’s a shame really…I know when I first joined I felt the group was a good resource for my needs and I’m not sure I would have had the headspace to find it the way it’s listed now. I wouldn’t want others in that place now not to be able to find the valuable resource I found…

  • I will highlight this to the Mac Community Team to see what can be done to make navigation simpler.

    ((hugs))
