Had bad day today. Been strong so far but cant be strong all the time. Grade 3 rcc, right radical nephectomy june 2023 and immunotherapy and now removal of left adrenal gland due to a small nodule that had some cancer cells there shown up on scan December 2024. Waiting on CT and hope nothing shows up. Stressful time and need some positive words that there is hope of living for many more years as im only 61

  • Today is nearly over. The night has set in.  My chickens are all snugged up and locked away from foxy.  3 of my 5 cats are snugged in the lounge with me and my border collie puppy. The house is quiet as my hubby and boys are out. 

    Today I count my blessings that I am here to enjoy this silent bliss.

    Last week I was fractious, full of a dreadful cold, couldn't focus...

    I myself have been told that my cancer can't be cured, but can be treated. Not easy but I can work with that. So I grab the joyous days and accept the bads days as a blip, usually because I am so tired.

    Now Doris I don't know whether u know about the 'can't be cured, forum....what an amazing group. People with all different cancers and treatments...we share our interests, gardening, art, sewing, basket making, someone keeps bees...and when u read their bios most have had cancer for many many years. They are fun, full of great advice,  very caring...

    They have shown me that even though lesions have shown up now in my lungs I gave a good chance of many years to come. 

    So lift your chin my darling, wipe away those tears, smile and enjoy each day as it happens...

    Hugest hugs  

  • The forum is called living with incurable cancer

  • Thanks for that fleabane. Ive not been told its not curable yet and hope it doesnt come to that Sleepy but comforting to know we can live with it for years. Ive never felt ill which is positive and glad you keep the positivity going.normally I can do that but struggled today. Ive got a husband and son with heart failure which is a constant worry and think it all got to me today..thanks for replying xx

  • U can always let off steam in here sweetie...

    Worrying about ur husband and son really takes away your energy.

    My eldest went blind a few years ago so I know a little of how it hurts to see our loved ones in need.

    I hope the sun shines for you tomorrow and that tge Easter bunny delivers you abd your family lots of chocolate eggs to nibble on.

    I am due my scan results at the end of the month. Yes I am nervous but made the decision to put it away and enjoy my Easter 

    Got all my fingers and toes crossed for good results for you...

    Hugest hugs and all the very best

  • Thank you sweetie. Appreciate your kind words. Ive been nibbling on milk tray my son bought me for mothers day Sweat smile. Enjoy your easter
