On a down again in a very up place

I'm 8 years + post diagnosis and life is honestly lovely.  Except I am on such a narrow path, was ill with Whooping cough in the summer and my mum had her diagnosis and I think it's rocked me.

Love to all my beautiful friends who are so far post, and still need a good wobble from time to time.

I have done this before and am coping better....maybe practice makes perfect?

  • Hi  , sorry you’re feeling down, but thanks for posting here as it’s encouraging to hear from people further down the line! I’m sorry to hear about your mum, too. I’m just passed 6 years since my diagnosis, still popping the pills (Anastrozole) but generally very happy with my life. I definitely still have wobbles and am very grateful for a few close friends who I can voice my thoughts and fears to. I go to an exercise class for anyone with a diagnosis of cancer, it was initially for 12 weeks but I’m still going 3 years later! There’s a real sense of shared experiences there and it’s great being with people who really ‘get it’ - like this forum, of course. Sending love and a big virtual hug, HFxx

  • Oh how lovely to have happy feet.  I really have warm fuzzies from your reply.  It's just a weird one that life feels good and positive then suddenly the rug disappears from under your feet.  

    But it does come back again, I know that now.

    And ...6 years!  Proud of you!
