Yes it is possible to get through treatment

I am now coming up to 8 years post diagnosis. I have managed to stay at work in a full time job, and now I'm taking 2 months long service leave to travel to UK, Sicily, Sweden and Iceland. 

I went through all the treatment offered to me, it was very hard, but I stayed at work to keep myself busy. Yes, the drugs are horrible, but the time does pass. 

I can only encourage others going through this, trust in your treatment providers, it's not ideal but they are doing the best they can with what is available to them.

Trust in yourself, listen to your body, and reject totally any negativity or well-meaning but inappropriate comments. Change the subject.Talk of the future. Don't try to analyse why this happened. Make the most of what you have now.

Nobody asks for this to happen, but in the end, you are responsible for your recovery.
