It will Cornish. Just be kind to yourself. There might be times when something will come along and bite you on the bum but you smack it in the mouth and carry on. You’ve done the nasty stuff now, it’s just a steady journey back to health. 

Ah lasses I too think it is sadly more the norm to have all these feelings. Every twinge. Ache or pain ....I too think the worst. 

Having routine check ups is so stressful too... my friend just messaged me tonight to say she has recd her 1 st 12mth mammogram result through post.... it says nothing of concern detected. So a reprieve for another 12 mths. Basically we live form test to test... even now. 

Like rileyroo says we basically gotta continue with the live in the moment, don’t think ahead, take it one day at a time. 

Do what u want, hold loved ones close and make each day count. Do not let cancer take one more moment of your time nd life. 

Tight hugs to everyone x ️X

Evening all.

It has made me really sad to read the posts today. I don’t think anyoneknows , apart from those who’ve been there,how your mind set changes when cancer comes to call. I too find the cancer research adverts difficult to watch. I too think that every little twinge is something bad. And I’ve visited all those dark places that you all have.

However I do think we all review our  lives and rethink our goals. One of the decisions I made on the day before my lymph node test results was to tell the people i love how mych they mean to me. I thought long and hard about how to do this, We are not a demonstrative family so I hit upon a plan to write something to each person at an appropriate time, I chose birthdays, The first is done. To my sister. It hurts that I never told my brother how much I loved him and that I only did that in a poem read at his funeral. I’ve decided those days are over. 

So yes live for the day, enjoy life is a brilliant idea and a whole heartedly agree with that sentiment too. I try not to worry as much as I did.

Hugs and hand squeezes to everyone. We fight together!

Good work management being supportive but wrapping me up in cotton wool a bit, I think due to good ol employment policy.

Bad think team members are getting frustrated that I won't just dive in,  resume running round like a twit and kill myself off! No chance this time, I'm looking after number one (and looking for  new post)! 

WQ xx

Morning WQ 

getting the balance right will work out soon but....u r quite right don’t give in to the pressure of work colleagues they have no real understanding of what u have been through or deal with.

New job scoping :-) always an exciting time nd much easier to look for a job when u have one - means u can hang out for the right one :-)
