Hi

Was just thinking about you both and how things are going.

Hi [@Ineedabreak]‍ ,

Your timing is uncanny! She saw the oncologist yesterday for bloods and everything was good! Its such a relief and weight off our minds. I feel insensitive posting positive outcomes as i know so many don't get the news they hoped for! 

There's still plenty more check ups to go and only time will tell us whether she's swerved this bullet, or whether its crept somewhere else.

How are you getting on?

How are you getting on?

That's lovely to hear.

Every week see's an improvement doesn't it.

I'm ok thank you my yearly colonoscopy in october was clear so fingers crossed.

I know what you mean but positive stories give others hope too that have just got the awful news as we automatically fear the worst.

All the best to you both!

I was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer about 4 years ago, had the full treatment.... surgery, chemo and radiotherapy.

I had a colonoscopy a few days before Christmas and got the "big C" all clear. I still have to be careful what I eat or I suffer from colitis and can't go far from the toilet. A lot of foods classed as healthy are off my list.

So you're never 100% but can still lead a normal and functional life.

[@JulianD]‍  Thats great news! It must be such a weight off your mind. It may not be 100%, but its still a functional life. I'm realising more and more just how important it is to make the most of our time and not be slaves to a corportate machine etc.

Wishing you all the best!

[@Ineedabreak]‍  I hope this gets through this time, as i replied, but it doesn't seem to have uploaded properly...

How fantastic to get positive news. My fingers and toes are crossed for you.

My wife's now back and trying to get into running again to try and make a 5k, plus has just managed a 1.5hr commute each way into London for work, so really big steps for her and her confidence and getting back to 'normal'. She's up and down with getting through the night undisturbed, but its a small price to pay for how well she's recovering overall.

Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Hi

Sounds all positive news.

Lovely to hear, the work commute sounds abit of a pain though.

All the best, keep in touch.
