Hi all, I was diagnosed Feb, surgery April. I have been given the all clear. Back to work next week on restricted hours. so far so good. However, I am sure it is because of my cancer but everytime the news comes on, there is someone else suffering or has lost their battle with lung cancer. It really gets to me. It does make me feel very vulnerable and whether mine will come back. I know no one has a crystal ball and I am a positive person but it is scary stuff.
Cancer is just everywhere, it really appears to be out of control.
Hi realshannon, firstly many congratulations on the all clear.
I get what you mean. Sometimes I have to turn the telly over because there is another advert, or someone else has lost their life to this awful disease. I think years ago people didn't talk about it as much as we do now. I do think that knowledge is power, and early diagnoses is so very important, so I do think it is good that we are more open, but when it effects you it is just a reminder isn't it.
I also think that positive stories like yours are so very important. We need to hear the good stories as well as all the negative. Getting a cancer diagnoses is so very scary, but to hear that you now have the all clear is so uplifting to others, so thank you for sharing xx
