Hi Carla what lovely news and it make us feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am only 8 months post treatment so very early days. I try to stay positive and look ahead but some days the feelings come back like a great big wallop that it might come back. I have to say to myself I just have to take it one step at a time. I am pretty much back to normal but still have a couple of issues with diet as I am trying to find the foods that are triggering bowel regularities. I have found at least two and that is citrus fruits and chocolate. I have hip pain sometimes and thought about swimming but worry I my want to go to the loo urgently. I am back to walking but not ready for ramblers as it’s all down to toilet issues. But all in all life is good. Sorry to hear about your husband after what you have been through it just doesn’t seem fair this rotten cancer just stinks. One side of things you are so grateful to be here and another side of things is battling the negative thoughts that sneak in when you least expect it. Again thank you for spreading some positivity x

Morning.  It has taken a good few years to accept I'm OK. My hips and legs still pain but they say it was due to the treatment, I beg to differ. The scanxiety used to be awful too then after the 5 years you're left on your own,it really does take a while to accept, especially when you can't see whats going on inside !! I swim most days and it makes me feel good !

Hi carla1965,

Firstly I’m really sorry to hear of your husband’s diagnosis. Secondly thank you so much for popping by to offer some words of encouragement & a lot of hope to everyone here. We have several members that are just about to start treatment or newly diagnosed & I'm sure your post will mean so much. I’m so pleased you’re doing well. Sending lots of healing thoughts your husbands way.
