Oh my goodness TwinTwo,  you really do have a lot to deal with, and you're dealing with it in such a positive way. I feel so bad now that I've read all you're going through, yet you still found time to reply too my post,  and me worrying over something I've not even been diagnosed with yet..

Such an inspiration

I’m sorry to read this....xx 

I can only echo what has already been said...you are an amazing person and SO inspirational to so many. I know this can be beaten and I understand that this changes little, as you say...it is a fact that peeps can go on and on and on! But still - something you can do without xx 

Thinking of you!

Thanks Nic-Nac,

I think, like you, it's that I know what I'm dealing with and that I can handle.  Not knowing is a different matter.

The only 'benefit' of cancer is being able to talk to people who are where I have been and give them encouragement and support.  It's actually helpful (for me anyway) to do that.

Likewise Alfmeister,

I enjoy reading your posts and it as this can occasionally seem like a breast cancer centric forum (unavoidable given the prevalence of disease I guess) it's good to be more aware of the other cancers, how they differ and how they are similar.

We can always support people regardless of their situation, just to different degrees.

Can't believe I have only just picked up this thread, i can only echo what everyone else has said, you are an inspiration to me, your positive outlook and calming words are helping me through a difficult time....

Thank you for being you, your a stabling influence on here...whether you realise it or not...xxxx

Cheers Marlyn,

Think my husband would laugh at the bipolar woman being the 'stabilising influence' :D  Glad I'm a mathematician, I think if I didn't have that logic side I'd be completely off my trolley!

You do put a smile on my face, my mum was bipolar too.....she could say some funny things at times bless her.....

i have a pretty dark humour and have found that helps a little....

But seriously, you were one of the First Ladies who replied to my initial post, and you have helped me....xxxx

I found out l had stage 4 just recently. Thought that's it but with correct treatment 5 years 100%. Five years with cancer treatment advances who knows how long?  You define the cancer not the other way around. I wish you a good long life.
