Knowing we are being listened to and having warm responses is all we ask. Thank you for being there all the way Adean. I have gone back to the same life I had before, with the challenges of having had a year away can bring. I have found it stressful, but just do what I can to manage. I had my first experience with true food poisoning on Saturday, out of the blue, it was the worst. So glad I wasnt sick during my Chemo! This was the pits. But ok now.
In my early days I always pushed myself to do things that werent easy, or may be I just pushed myself and nothing was easy. But I have always thought how I can look back over each 5 years and see if I have used my time well. When I was 21 my tax man asked me "What are you going to do over the next 5 years?" and I said "I dont know" and he said "If you make no plans, nothing may happen!" So I took his advice from then on. I dont plan ahead like that any more, happy to just get plan weeks ahead instead. I do book in phone calls to remind myself to ring friends I can see, and book in coffee's and I book in and organise my time, so I dont waste it. For me, there wasnt a pot of gold at the end of surviving cancer, just the life I had left before. So I aim to appreciate that it is up to me, to enjoy the simple things in life, and not to waste time either. Take care Adean. X Bel
