Introducing myself

Hi Sparkle

Sorry you have had to join the incurables, you will get a lot of support from every one.

Great bunch of people, we support each other, in  good times and bad.

We can rant, scream, laugh and cry, we have all done one of them at some point.

No one knows how one may fill, only some one that is going threw it, and we all are.

Others will come along, please use the site or group, you will get a lot  from it, we all   all do.

We were all new once, and i have been here a long time, and would never have got this far, without the site.

Thank you so much

Hello Sparkles

A warm welcome from me too -  I’m still fairly new here but actually feel like I’m amongst old friends 

It took me a long time to take the plunge and write my first post but so glad I did, the support and chit chats are great 

There is absolutely no judgement from anyone- I think that’s one of the best things 

Looking forward to hearing what  adventures you get up to with your son

Hi Sparkles, and welcome to our little family, though I'm so sorry you find yourself here, I hope you find the support and friendship of the wonderful people on here helps you with your journey, and the amazing stories of some of the guys inspire and give you hope, and the experiences of how we manage to live our lives, even though there not the one's any of us wanted, to make the most of them,  and to be understood by others who understand the emotions only those in our situation can understand.

Hi Sparkles, A warm welcome. I'm sure you will benefit from joining this group. I'm sure everyone here has certainly found support, empathy and friendship. I, like Ellie have been here a long time and didn't expect to be still here, my oncologist is as surprised as I am! No one knows when anyone will die, even the professionals so live each day as it comes and enjoy every minute! Don't let this diagnosis take over. Take charge! I hope to get to know you better soon!!

Hi Sparkles, a warm welcome from me too. I have been here for about 7 years except for the last 2½ years because my wife was diagnosed with rectal cancer and she was very ill because of the radiotherapy and chemotherapy so I just didn't have the time to devote to the group.

There were many new names and some old ones that were still here, well such a welcome from everyone and that was very touching. You won't be long slotting in yourself and I hope you'll be here for a long time.

I never expected to be here still as I was diagnosed way back in March 2015 with an incurable bone marrow cancer and I thought my life was over but how wrong I was. I hope you'll be here just as long or even longer, Sparkles. What a nice username you have, it conjures up as someone who has fizz and a zest for life. May you make many, many wonderful memories with your son of whom you must be so proud, and he of you.

I'm looking forward to seeing you grow well within the group. Talking of growing, if you are a keen gardener or just like to look after a few pots, there's a gardening forum within the group. You're very welcome to join in. 

Take care Sparkles

Hi Sparkles welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. Working whilst on treatment is hard, some of your treatments are similar to mine. Hormone therapy isn’t easy, but I can understand you still wanting to work. I had to stop work when I was 48, and although I know I couldn’t physically do it, I really miss the routine, the normality, and the people!!  
My youngest daughter was 13 when I got my incurable diagnoses. The school were amazing with her, she got a lot of support, but also MacMillan arranged counselling for her. She’s 25 soon, so please keep the faith !! 

Thank you so much. Yes I love gardening. I have now made my garden into haven for me to relax x

Thank you so much for this message. I have a mortgage. So got to still pay that off. Realistically I will probably have to go back to work, in whatever way that turns out to be. Its nice to hear somone else's perspective ️️
