Lovely to hear from you! And congratulations on the 3 year milestone - it's a big one. Yes - we are changed. We no longer think we're immortal the way we did before diagnosis, and we are wiser and perhaps a little sadder, as you say. But we do value life and health more than before, watch our diet and exercise more, cherish our partner and our friends more than ever. We make the passing time count more and feel thankful for the all clear when we have our checkups. We all get it.
I hope you are still enjoying Sydney and have made loads of friends there. Your job was going well last time you posted. There are so many newbies on the site now, and it's good that the "oldies" check in from time to time so that they know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Happy Christmas, Bel, and all good things in 2016. I don't visit the site as much any more either, and was so glad to see your post when I did. You are another warrior! Big hug xx Michelle
