I have dlbcl (non-hodgkins) bulky mass in my chest wall. I have a blog I have created: www.thefightofourlives.wordpress.com as another avenue to connect with people touched by cancer. I am still in treatment but I'm happy to talk to anyone about any stage in their/my own experience and equally just to chat :)
I have a fantastic job and truly amazing people to go back to if I can fight this and as much as I want to be in my mums arms again (she was so cruelly taken by stomach cancer when I was 9 years old) I know that at just approaching 30 it's not my time yet and she would want me to use the strength, courage and fight that she installed in me & demonstrated in her own secret battle with this horrendous illness!
So I am determined to just keep on soldering on like she would want me to and get back to the happy life I had finally found before this diagnosis grounded everything to a halt on the 11th march 2015.
I have come on these forums to find people to chat to and hope that even if it just reaches one person-we can make a difference to one another even if it's installing that little unexpected smile that comes from the power of anothers caring and heartfelt words.
Anyways I hope that this reaches people somewhere and does good.
Please get in touch:)
