23 years free of cancer.

A member of this forum for many years, mainly supporting breast cancer and colon cancer sufferers. For some reason I stopped accessing the forum and therefore less contact with members. I have continued to receive the odd email. Today I received the news of a new format which has prompted me to become involved once more. I also wonder how many members ate on the forum from all those years ago and indeed the moderators.

  • Hi Jolamine,

    Yes I often wonder where the years have gone!

    Although cancer free for 23 years I do have a number of health conditions. The main one beng deteriorating eye sight du to ARMD for which there is no treatment. As I  an 87 I should not complain as there ate others much worse off than me. 
    Ihope you are Weil and enjoying the better weather. 

    Gheers,

    Isobel.

    Hi Isobel,

    I think that most of us collect more health condiotions along the way. I too have macular degeneration, but I can live with that. I lost my sight completely in one eye, after taking Letrozole and was fast losing it in the other. I developed Post-Compartmental Syndrome and had 7 operations to try and restore my sight. I feel so fortunate that the operations were successful, as I found the year without my sight was challenging.

    I am battling with COVID at the moment and am totally exhausted, but otherwise keeping well. I'm just hoping that the good weather will last until I can go out again !

    Regards,

    Jolamine xx
