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!
