The aftermath

Good Evening all 

Hope you are all doing as well as you can be with your treatments and things just thought I’d drop in and say hello and touch base with you all so halfway through my first year wait for a check up everything still as it was Hard to believe I am now over the two years mark after My Diagnosis of Pta G2 Bladder cancer for those who aren’t aren’t familiar with me and my journey.

So Been a bit of weird 6 months since being moved to yearly checks was quite apprehensive the day they told me as well as relived as you can imagine the specialist nurse who did my last flexi was the first female id had do the procedure and what a lovely lady even gave me her personal card with her contact details on how will I know Annette and she assured me if it recurs you will know and see it and then you just pick that card up and ring me straightaway ok 

So walked out that day elated but not a day goes by that it’s not on my mind don’t get me wrong I’m coping well even booked a holiday abroad for the summer which I have not done for two years because I’ve not wanted to be in a position that I can not access my care so we have had no end of long weekends away and mid week breaks this past two years knowing that I’m in my own country and only have to pick up the phone and make my way to the closest hospital should I encounter an issue the diagnosis has had a positive impact as well as negative work comes second  no longer chase every quid I can my weekends are sacred they are time for making my personal life better and improving my home so I can have peace and be at peace well spending time there in a evening and weekends these are the things they don’t prepare you for going back to your life once entering surveillance your still constantly looking over your shoulder should I do that should I not is there any point I’ve learned to just take everyday as it comes and just glance in these so called mirrors as I change lanes in life to whatever suits me that day 

all the best
