I haven’t posted a lot in here, I must be honest. But when I was first diagnosed I trawled through the posts looking for the positive and good news posts for reassurance it would all be ok.
Well on Wednesday I too was told there’s now ‘No evidence of cancer’ this was after my 3 month scan. Like Georgie said previously, it’s a weird feeling. Friends n family keep saying we must celebrate but I really don’t know how I feel at the moment. I do feel I’ve been one of the lucky ones so far as side effects go, I do have a bit of urgency when needing the toilet but so far it’s manageable n hoping that will improve further.
The support and information in this group has been amazing so Thankyou to all you ladies who take time to answer all our questions and give advice, it’s been invaluable
I hope this post gives someone just a little reassurance that it will be ok

Yes please let us know how you get on, be thinking of you x
Fantastic news!
It is weird though isn’t it? I think realistically it took me a year to really come to terms with it all. I definitely didn’t end up celebrating, I was just relieved I think. I’m three years on now (where did that go?) and I still have an odd toilet issue but yes I think I’ve been lucky too.
so, to us all. We did it.
It IS quite weird in ways. I'm just over a year post treatment and had the same kind of reactions. At 3 months my oncologist said there was no trace of the cancer and I told a couple of people but he had always told me that the 6 month ones were more definitive and so I didn't really take it seriously at all. Even at 6 months I didn't celebrate. I think I'm just about settling myself with it now. It's hard to process all the implications of a cancer diagnosis and the treatment we've had is so hard going that it's almost a trauma in itself.
I had MRI and CT scans at 6 months, and MRI only at 12 months. So far as I understand that will be the pattern for the next 4 years.
As everyone has said, this forum has been the most amazing help and support, so huge thanks to everyone who posts here.
