Hi all,
Had my 3 month check up yesterday and all good. There is some residual scar tissue which they want to keep an eye on, but my oncologist feels certain it’s just scar tissue which will resolve by the 6 month check. I’m very happy. I do wish there was absolutely nothing there, but my tumour was 4cm and I was very poorly, so I’m very happy - and my oncologist says I’ve had the best possible result. I was stage 2 or T4 N0 M0. She says I don’t need to worry about an APR - so I’m happy.
now to try and rebuild my life after the worst possible year. I feel absolutely exhausted and quite emotional today. I went through so much, and it’s strange that the world just carries on isn’t it?
abyways, overall I’m positive - and I absolutely couldn’t have got through this without this forum. You were my rocks when we had very little other support. So thank you my bumlanders

Fantastic news Arightbumdeal I am so delighted for you. It has be a rough year hasn’t it? I too will be glad to see the back of 2021. Keeping everything crossed for those of us that have experienced cancer this year

Arightbumdeal that’s great news & an immense relief for you I should imagine.
A cancer diagnosis is absolutely exhausting! From the shock of the diagnosis through to treatment it’s a physical & emotional rollercoaster & what some don’t realise is it doesn’t end there! We have 5 years of tests, scans, examinations etc., to get through & each of these brings an element of that stress back. Take some time to let the good news sink in, give yourself a bit of tlc over the next couple of days & then begin getting your life back in manageable sized pieces.
Congratulations again & remember we’re always here.
Nicola
