One year Anniversary

Hello Hawthorn

I remember your name on here from when I go diagnosed around the same time last year. 

I must admit feeling a little wobbly around my own anniversary. ( I had symptoms March 14th and surgery on April 11th) 

From what I have seen on here it is a perfectly understandable reaction. It is as you say a long and hard journey at times and the support on here really helped me. 

Like you I am not back to what I was but I am also feeling a lot more like me. Am glad you are feeling in a good place just now.

I hope that your next MRI goes ok.

Take care

Jane

Hi Hawthorn 

It's strange isn't it to think back of all the treatment we went through last year. I feel like I just got on with it without much thought, sort of swept along on all the appointments, tests etc. My cancer diagnosis anniversary was in January and my stage 4 diagnosis anniversary is later this month. I'm going to go out for a meal and celebrate it, just for the fact that I'm still here when it was looking like I might not be. I feel the same, I'm not what I was and don't think I'll get back to that. But I'm still here and having a stab at this new second chance, of a life that has been completely changed by cancer. 

Best wishes for your next scan, I'm pleased you're doing ok,

Hi Sistermoon,

I just read your profile and you haven’t half been through the mill. Am sure I’ve read if before but my memory is terrible the now. You are so young to be going through so much . You have such a good attitude towards what your going through . I agree with you I don’t think that anyone diagnosed with cancer ever goes back to their old self. I know I’ve change ,am more grateful for things in life that I took for granted before. I wish you well and hope you continue to feel better and enjoy your celebratory meal.xxx 

Thank you so much for your reply Jane, it is so life changing for all of us . I hope you continue to feel better .xxx

Congratulations on your one year anniversary Hawthorn ,  i say congratulations because with everything you have been though you deserve a little celebration   To say wow what a rollercoaster but i am still here, and its all down to to the wonderful supportive community which helps us from going completely crazy with everything that is bombarded at us from our Doctors when we are diagnosed and what treatment we have to go thought, will it work? Will i need more treatment etc. having a great team looking after us all helps and wishing you all the best with your up coming MRI hopefully as said its a cyst. 

Sending gentle bear hugs  

Thank you so much GBear, so pleased your still doing fine as you haven’t had an easy time. We should all be proud of ourselves with what we’ve been through. Xxxx
