I'm still here! So many years after my metastatic diagnosis.

Just catching up - it's been a while.

Hello everyone, and hoping for the very best of health and happiness for you in 2025.

And wishing you all the very best for 2026!

Thank you to the friends I've met on here, and hoping to encourage anyone living with metastatic cancer, people like myself with difficult diagnoses. I'm still living with my Stage 4 cancer. But still looking after my grandchildren. Still enjoying life. Yes, I get tired, but wow what a wonderful life it is!

Hoping for your best outcome

  • Hi Mare

    For the many of us with advanced cancer it can often get overwhelming. A bit of encouragement or even just a kind word can make such a difference. Living with cancer and taking great joy from being with your gandchildren is indeed a life well lived. My own grandchildren energise me and fill me with hope for their and my own future. Im a bit over a year with metastatic cancer but over 10 years with locally advanced cancer. I take each precious day as it comes and do what I am able to. Like you Fatigue is also my constant companion. All in all I have a pretty good life and immunotherapy is helping prolongue it. Good to hear from you.

  • Hi Ed,

    I think we're part of a growing number of people who are hoping to live longer with this disease nowadays.

    I find this forum has been a good place to chat to people who understand what it means to be living with the uncertainty of it all. It's not easy is it!

    It's good to hear from you too :)
