3 years what a journey

Hi Chickplc. Dawn, good to see you still looking in on us! It's truly a roller-coaster ride no-one ever wanted, nor expected to get on. The ups and downs are endless, you think you've cracked it and something else crops up so to read that you're through it and enjoying life with your hubby and family, that's the important thing!

You just reminded me, it's time for the lady bits to be dilated! I'm developing a few issues but nothing that can't be coped with. When I got my diagnosis time stood still but a year on I appreciate life more and take the pitfalls as they come and don't take anything for granted.

You can't put a price on the support we give and receive from each other here, it helped me no end and still does.

Sending hugs, Barb xx

Dawn,  Over the last few years I've read so many stories from ladies here and often wonder how they are getting on,  So it's good to hear from you now and to know that you are doing well after that shock recurrence.   When I was diagnosed it was difficult to imagine how life would be down the line,  Like you, I do now feel positive about things and feel grateful for my present state of health. Mind you, I would like it even more if I could  knock a good few years off my age!

Thankyou MrsBJH for being a champion you give much support to everyone x

Hi Anne Nice to hear from you. I too always think about the ladies who joined same year as me. I've assumed they are OK and living their life and that makes me happy.  Yes it was a shock recurring at six months and being Stage1A grade 1.  It was a scary horrible time but we are getting there. Hugs Dawn

Hi Chickpic,

Glad to hear you are over the hiccup, and enjoying your family. I'm fine, but hubby goes in on Friday after finding out he has bowel cancer!! Here we go again!!! 

Nice to hear from you NannyAnny and that you are doing fine, sorry about husband after all he has been through. Thoughts with you both xxc

Hi Dawn. Very pleased to hear you are well and happy. I’m from the class of 2015. Six year anniversary of my surgery tomorrow. I was discharged from Royal Marsden in January. I had serous and clear cell. Thought I would mention that in case any ladies reading this are dealing with the shock of a similar high grade diagnosis.

Best wishes to you all. Xx

That's brilliant Ema56, cancer is so complicated and although there are high grades and low grades the word cancer is frightening and I remember not taking our ladies advice when I recurred and Googled this started the worst 2 weeks of my life until I got my MRI and ct scan results.  The worst is that you never seem to know and I still fear recurrence but it has got easier and I'm not letting this horrible disease take another minute of my life. Like you I hope my journey shows that if you do have a hiccup, early diagnosis can sort it. I hope our journey's supports our new ladies here.  Best wishes Dawn xx
