i was diagnosed with triple negative cancer in November 2019
2 operations 8 rounds of chemo 9 Radiotherapy
3 yrs of Zometa infusion.
lymphadema in right arm due to trauma of pict line
but... I’m here, I’m well and I get signed off in august when I see my oncologist for the last time. I’m relived happy and very grateful but then I hear of someone not so lucky and plunge deeply into some kind of depression and hate myself for feeling this way. I feel bad that my nephew in law lost his dad when we were diagnosed at same time. Why was I the lucky one out of us 2?
this sounds very selfish as I am so happy and relieved and for others out there, you can get better…
then I feel am I bragging, it can always come back I know... It’s a bad day I’m sorry if this offends anyone but I need to get it off my chest as my family, rightly so say it’s time to move on, I try not to let them now how I feel!
Hi Kimbo
I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. Congratulations on reaching fives years cancer free. It doesn't sound selfish at all that you are happy and relieved that you have reached the five year mark and you're certainly not bragging, we need to take the wins when we get them.
Wishing you the best of luck in the future.
Best wishes
