in Day to day
Hi Ladies, how are you travelling?
its been a while since I dropped by . I hope you are all going well. Life goes on regardless!
im coming up for my one year check up soon . 
You never really get over this do you? I sometimes lie in bed at night and relive what happened. My mind seems to still want to come to terms with it all.  Every day is a new day,I  choose happiness whenever I can, but also know to cry is to let it out and let it go.
live light and peace

    Hi Chanel
    I hope it all goes well for you. I have just had my 1 year checkup and all clear. It is a stressful time waiting for the latest results but we have to stay positive. 
    Hugs Bev

    Hello @Chanel, I'm also coming up for my 1year checks. I try to push the "what ifs" to the back of my mind but the niggling doubt is always there.  We are all changed by going through breast cancer and you are so right Peta when you say that we choose happiness. I count my blessings every day, including having all these wonderful women from the forum in my life.
    sending a hug and wishing you all the best with your results. Let us know how you go. Jane xx

    Hi Chanel

    Good luck with your upcoming review. You are quite right we never really get over it!  It is there as a reminder occasionally but aren't we fortunate that we live in times where research and treatments are constantly improving.  Wishing you all the best and more settled times, as you say, as your mind comes to terms with it all.  
    Take care

    Just as before waiting for the test results is more nerve racking than the tests themselves. May you have an uneventful test and results. <3

    Hi Chanel, my first mammogram is in a couple of weeks just don't know where that year has gone. I am a bit worried as I have lymphoedema in my breast and some hard fibrosis tissue so I'm not looking forward to being squashed. Then see my surgeon the following week I am trying not to think to much as it will start playing on my mind. Although I still a few problems when I look back to when I had surgery and the pain 24/7 life is good we forget how far we have come in a year.xx

    Hi Chanel time moves on and every check up is stressful. I'm just passed my 3 year anniversary. 
    Cancer will always be part of our lives now, but it is not the only thing in my life.
    Every day is a blessing

    @Chanel to continue the most baffling thing is we dont know how to stop cancer. If only we had a list to follow.
    I believe in years to come there will be breakthroughs. In saying that look how far we have come in treatment.
    A silly thing I like the way we now take temperature a quick click in your ear far better than sitting there with a thermometor and told not to move. Onwards. I agree choose happiness.
