Treatment complete

Hiya hun

i completed seven months of chemotherapy in August after being diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. All I can say is take one day at a time. Live in the moment because everyone will say stay positive but only you can do this for you. Try to keep busy and do things that make you happy.

• Thanks for your reply Marsha 76,have you had to have surgery?

Yes I was diagnosed in October 2019 and had surgery the next month November 12th then started chemotherapy in January.

Hi

How are you getting on now?

Thanks for asking. Up and down if I’m honest I was just getting back into the swing of things with working from home and being back at work when I heard a girl i met in chemo with stage 4 BC had sadly passed away. She was 26 and was only diagnosed last year. That has knocked me abit as firstly we have the same condition and secondly I realise my life will never be the same. Although thank god I have been given the all clear I still have to live with cancer. If that makes sense, luckily my daughters keep me going.

How are you getting on?

To be honest everything  i see on tv is related to cancer,I feel I can never get away from it,I know it's there but sometimes I want to forget I have it.My friends and family are great but they don't understand how I feel apart from the ones that have been through it themself.

So happy you have been given the all clear,and hearing that gives me hope.

Thankgod you said coz I feel the same way. Even this morning with the sad news of Eddie Van Halens passing due to cancer plus the impact of Corona on cancer patients coupled with the adverts. I don’t want to switch on the TV lol. I guess they were always there but now it affects us

There’s always hope hun. Always XX 

I hope you don't mind I've added you as a friend on here x
