thanks for the kind words girls...i know all of this and have been reminding myself. A little under a month ago I had to say goodbye to another pal who was having treatment at the same unit as me, so i knew her personally as opposed to Nik who I only knew online, but I felt just as sad for both of them and their families.
Having secondary cancer just as they did it brings home the reality of what may lie ahead for me and my family. I am currently experinecing a period of wellness and really enjoying the freedom that brings (treatment every 3 weeks but not ill with it)....u begin to wonder how long this will last, when will the bubble burst?
I am generally a positive person and this has helped me overwhelmingly..the chemo unit staff all say the a positive attitude makes a LOT of differrence to how well ur treatment goes...just every now and then I am saddened by whats around me in this 'new' life that i never asked to have and deal with on a daily basis....
thanks again for the support and the opportunity to vent my feelings...this is exactly why we need this site
