Hi everyone not posted on here before ,i had my kidney out 20 years ago and was told it had been a a success I lived for 20-years with having no treatment and living as normal life as you can, but in the back of your mind you worry it may return. 3-years ago I found that the cancer has gone into my my pancreas and my other kidney an operation to remove both was not an option so I've been on on targeted therapy for the last 3 years i thank God it has been working and hopefully still is my tumours have shrunk and are stable, next week I have my scan and it always makes me nervous just in case this time it's not good news. during the past 3-years side effects have not been very nice terrible diarrhoea and a lot of fatigue but the best thing of all is I'm still here and hope to be for a long time. I will not give up I cannot give up a year ago my husband was diagnosed with the early start of Alzheimer's it's easy to think you've been dealt a bad hand and you can get really down and thinking why me but I always try to think it could be worse a lot worse, so for those of you you who are are suffering at the moment I just wanted to share my story in the hope that it helps to see someone who has been given that terminal prognosis that you can still live and enjoy oi life. I'm not saying it's easy there's days when i just want to cry but other days I'm buzzing with joy .
