Flamazine

Thanks Michelle,

I have resolved to not think about the scans. There is absolutely no reason to think the treatment has not worked, as soon as I am able I plan to resume normal life as much as possible.

Should I ever require further treatment I will think about that when I need to xx

Treatment failure is exceedingly rare. Keep that thought xx

I think that is the right attitude Julie. I wish I could stop fretting but I just need to know for sure xx

Thanks Dani. My consultant has said 80% cure rate is pessimistic so I know there is a great chance for success and when I saw him last week he said everything looks and feels as it should but I just need that confirmation because I keep thinking if it’s 80% then 1 in 5 don’t get a good result. 
I have worried ever since I was told they had found cancer cells. Xx

Hi Michelle. Don’t spend the next few months dwelling on results. The success rate is excellent. Just concentrate on getting through this period. I took the attitude why worry over some thing g  I’ve no control over. I trusted the oncologist and his team and here j am almost 3 years post treatment

Thanks Hazel. I am going to try my very best to put it to the back of my head. I am usually very pragmatic but this experience is something else. Throwing myself back in to work will be my comfort zone, back to some sort of normal and it will occupy my time instead of sitting dwelling.

 I was so blasé when going through many biopsies and scans pre diagnosis. Tests kept coming back inconclusive but my consultant kept pushing, she knew there was something there. She didn’t tell me that as she didn’t want to worry me unnecessarily and the positive result came like a bolt out of the blue. When she told me I was on my own, my husband had been to previous meetings where there was nothing much to say so that was typical. Then I cried for many days so I think this experience has affected me more than I would have thought.

Still it won’t do to dwell on what might be. I need to get the champagne in and plan the celebration party don’t I!!!

 Thanks 

Michelle xx

Definitely you’ve done the hard part   I planned flights to Spain 4 days after my results that’s how confident I was xx
