Hi all, I am not new to the site but haven’t been able or got round to say hi till now, that’s admitting that I have cancer and has been putting me off!! Not that I’m in denial but to write about imakes me think about it and still makes me sad 5 months after my diagnosis of incurable but treatable metastatic kidney cancer. It’s been a rollercoaster and have just been told I have had a good response so far to treatment but that’s come with it’s own setbacks in the form of autoimmune arthritis and liver inflammation, all currently under control by steroids. Life is certainly different and am still finding my way at trying to do this living with cancer, am hoping I may get better at it.

Hi Amanda x well done for posting, it must have taken courage to do this with how you are feeling about your diagnosis. We are all different but I think that many of us will have experienced the shock of a diagnosis which is hard to come to terms with and I can concur with talking about it making it real.

It must have been so hard to be told it was incurable, but it’s good that you seem to be responding to treatment….albeit with the side effects that go with that.

I wish you all the very best with your treatment…….let us know how you are getting on….the good days and the bad. On the good we can celebrate with you and on the bad we will write words of encouragement to help you through.

Big hugs Jules xx
