Forum Discussion
What a time you've been having! But I am delighted to hear from you. Yes, even the strong find the going tough at times so I hope you are getting the support you need and are able to cut back on all those commitments.
I don't have a 3neg cancer statis, actually. I read your blog when you first joined this forum, and felt moved to do some research on it because nobody seemed to be replying to your query and (as a trained filmmaker and current writer) research is something I can do easily. Your plight moved me also because a friend had just been diagnosed with another of the rarer varieties. My own cancer was Estrogen positive and was treated successfully. I am six years down the track now and have my annual check up next month. I can relate to what you say about other issues going on at the same time as the cancer treatment. Life is so like that! We had major bushfires here in the Grampians while I was recovering.
I hope the news for the new lesion is not too disheartening for you. It is hard having to go through it all again - but you are still young and seem to have a great deal to live for. Did you know Australians have the best survival rate in the world due to the excellent treatment we receive here?
Will be thinking of you,
Lizzy
