Saving my Sanity

Hi All,

I want to thank everyone who replied to my post last week re: me not being happy about my good news on dodging the chemo bullet. Sorry I sounded so morose and insane. Your comments and support did help and I have since been able to put things in perspective. Having this site to vent my feelings has been a real positive for me in such negative moments of my life. My sanity is again intact.

It's weird this cancer thing. Seems you are mentally/emotionally okay one moment and not so the next. I feel privileged to have this site to connect with everyone and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful partner who just knows what to say and when to say it ... or not.

I have since been given a date for my first radiation therapy mapping session, so things are finally on the move for me. It gives me a week or so to enjoy life and forget about things for a while. Something we all need.

So here's to positive outcomes for everyone. And if a negative slips its way in there very now and then, here's to this site and all your wonderful support. 

Hugs to everyone.

San-Dee

    Glad you have been able to find your happier place again. Those darker thoughts will most likely sneak back to visit now and then. But that's  okay. Better to address the elephant in the room than pretend there are no issues. Enjoy your week break. Here's  hoping radiotherapy is not too traumatic. Kath x

    Thanks, San-Dee. Everyone's effort to stay positive during tough times is appreciated, but this is a place to vent if there ever was one. I'm glad to hear you're feeling supported.
