To the ladies that I know on here and all the newbies that I have not even met yet, I just want to say how different life is after cancer diagnosis and worry etc, I was the worlds worst worrier and the most negative person you could meet, I was convinced initially that I would not be here to see this milestone birthday, But here I am 18 months on, 50 today and feeling great, mainly because. everyday my journey gets further away into my past and I think about it less and less, intact rarely at all now, so just to give hope to anyone starting their journey and feeling that your life will never move on, it does believe me, I look back and can’t believe I actually went through all those scans worries and the op, it just feels like it was someone else now and not me, st the start of my journey  a friend  said to me just get yourself better and think of the celebration we will have for your 50th at the time it seemed ages  away, and at not knowing my results for stage etc  I didn’t think I would see 50 but it’s here and to be honest it feels extra special for me because I have come so far mentally and for the first time in ages I’m in control and that feels good, so please remember you will not always feel as you do now, life will and does go on , you are all strong ladies and although cancer is something none of us wanted to face, be proud of yourselves because you have or are facing it and you will come out the other side feeling much stronger for it and your life will be more appreciated than it ever was before, love to you all and thank you for everything xxxx

  • Happy Birthday Dear Lara Lou

    50 is the new 30!

    I am 74 and 5 years on from high grade high stage endometrial cancer declined adjuvant treatment which my gynaecologist onc said he hoped wouldn’t bite us in the bum but supported my decision

    Truthfully I feel about 40 and I am very fit and happy and wish the same for you

    I don’t often post these days but often read others posts to see how they are getting on

    Have a fantastic celebration 

    With lots of love

  • Happy 50th, Lara lou.

    I think my daughter knows exactly how you feel. She had breast cancer at 37 years old with all the treatment. She has decided to celebrate big birthdays with a party, and her 40th was great fun - just what we all needed!!!    xxxxxxxx
