Been quite a journey

I was reading my post from two years ago about starting chemo and how anxious I was. Well almost two years to the day (yesterday) I finished my second course of chemo after recurrence. I've had various difficulties along the way but I'm grateful for the positives that I've experienced. Anyone else look back and think "I'm stronger than I thought?!" 

  • Hi Puffin62

    I'm sure you're not the only one who feels like this! In fact it's something that we see posted quite often by members when encouraging others who are just starting out on their journey with cancer. 

    It's great that you've been able to take positives from everything that you've been through since that first post. I hope that your positive mind set serves you for a very long time to come! :) 
    Best wishes,

    Hi puffin, good idea this string. 

    When i was diagnosed Feb 2016 and uncurable my first thought was this it,how long have i got,, now apart from blood tests now and again, i just ignore it its my uninvited guest we just live together,, its surprising what you get usto, in time, i never thought I'd be this relaxed about living with cancer,..
