Hi just want to say hello
never thought I would find myself here. It's quite shock! My diagnosis was 8 weeks ago when I went in for emergency surgery. Have been trying to get my head round it. I am on Raltitrexed chemo 2nd cycle of 8. This second time I've had chemo as I had stage 3 bowel cancer 2019. I am both tearful and angry. I find it really difficult to get it out of my head but you all sound cheerful and optimistic I hope I become the same.
Hi yours has been an incredible journey. Reading all these profiles of the lovely people who replied to me makes me realise the determination of the human species. What is TV mans world of gardening. I am intrigued.

Hi thank you for your warm reply, you sound like a trooper too. My head is still all over the place and I'm up and down like a yo yo. Think most people must feel the same. It takes time to process. I feel like I've dodged the bullet so far but this one has my name on it. Been awake since 4am. Thank goodness for tea and digestive biscuits.

Thank, don’t feel particularly amazing but it’s very nice for someone to say it. I’m lucky my wife understands that some days I’m great and other days I’m not. It’s important for those around you to understand that as it really helps you. As for being an optimist I figure there’s no point worrying about stuff I cannot change

be safe, be nice, be you
Hello Missymoo2. I am sorry that I missed your post. I think you have had just about everyone's opinion on her, all valuable.. We all care about each other but particularly for a newbie. Of course you are suffering but time does make a difference and you will find yourself laughing as well as crying. Cancer will become just a bloody nuisance and not something that is going to rule your everyday life.
You have seen a slanderous post about me from someone who goes by the name of SiT. When you are really fed up, look at a picture of him with his best friend, an electric bike called TheBastard. You will be firmly amused. Xxx
Hi Norberry thank you for your upbeat reply. I hope to catch up with the optimistic attitude. Have have a few rough days with the chemo but onwards and upwards. Am just going to take a look at the pics. Missymoo2
