Roller coaster ride!
Had my first surgery ever!
All went well and when I met my surgeon the next Monday, I was told I had the perfect little cancer, that was a perfect target. My margins were clear and it hadn't spread...

Hello Leanne,
Yes, I found the first month to be astonishing. It felt like a blizzard of tests and new information. Then it settled down.
Then I settled in to 6 months of chemo (finished in June) and 6 weeks of radiation (finished in August). Taking each day, taking best possible care of myself and accepting all help. I avoided the worst of the possible side effects and survived a thousand expected and unexpected events.
Part way through chemo I figured I needed a post-treatment reward to look forward to. So next week we're off to spend a week in Kakadu.
I hope that every day brings you the resilience and support to find little treasures even on the darker days. It's lovely to hear you talk about the champagne, European trip, and maybe even children in your future.
Good luck. Check in from time to time and tell us how you're going!
Love and hugs
Gillian
