One year on after end of treatment I'm still doing ok. 

I've had CNS lymphoma in my brain since 7/04/2014 just been for my quarterly check up all fine.

I'm on a trial at Southampton hospital so I get checked every 3 months.

Most days are good but find I've got no patience and go off on one at any time told this is normal but I don't like it.

New to this to see if talking with others helps.

    Hi mr Cat,

    Good to hear a whole year has passed since the end of your treatment. 

    Im in the same "boat" as you in regards to afterwards. Get checked every three months, finished my final op nearly a year ago.

    Found the same as you in terms of no patience and going off on one, but its getting better.

    I tend to get rages inside my head when I have to listen to people moan over trivial things. At work my job is to help people with tech, and I have come close to walking out a few times.

    We must remind ourseves we are lucky to be alive and to value every moment of life, even the angry parts.

    Good luck to you.

    Thanks for the encouragement I try to stay positive but sometimes it just gets too much.

    Hi, I had my operation in September 2014 and had a reasonable year, albeit always expecting something to happen because my cancer is incurable.    The , last couple of months have been awful, I have been angry, shouted at people , I want to throw things.  And then I want to burst into tears.  I have been told to go to the doctors to get anti-depressant medication but but I don't want to treat a symptom I want to know the cause, after all this time.  

    I do hope thingsimorove for you, it's such a hard time, isn't it.  Best wishes.I
