A year on

Hey guys....

Been a while since I've been on here. I had intended to stay on board and do updates and offer support for newcomers after all the support I received here myself last year.

Honestly? I've no excuse, other than life has just been carrying on after treatment and actually it felt a lot mentally to keep on talking about it all. I guess avoidance has felt easier for a while.

But now my partner has just been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. It's such a shock and I'm still going through all the regular scans and checks myself. Feels a whole lot right now! Had to leave him behind at St Barts yesterday for 6 months of intensive chemotherapy. He will only be allowed home for a week at a time inbetween each 4 week cycle.

The leukaemia forums seem so inactive compared to my experience on here with this particular forum. 

Anyway. Some of you may remember me. Things are looking as good as they can for my own recovery atm, so I hope that's reassuring for others here who are at the start, middle or end of treatment. 

Will have a little scroll through recent posts to catch up at least a bit and any questions from anyone who might need some support right now are 100% welcome too. I'm no oracle, but I'm out the other side of the treatment for anal cancer now and into the check up stages.
