Hi all, was diagnosed with the above last June after a pain in my groin wouldn't go away. I'm on the young side for this and the futures uncertain. I found researching the condition (with some circumspect) helped me come to terms with it but at times it still seems surreal. If only i could wake up! My wife's been fantastic (as always) but with lockdown we're both feeling the strain now. Chemo as affected my feet and so decreased my mobility, having regular blood tests and cancer is in good remission, but lots of aches and pains to constantly remind me that it still lurking under the surface, what joy!
