I just watched Gillian and Fran's video's. Gillian speaks so well about living your life in the here and now and trying to manage the anxiety and fear of the disease. I believe it is all about finding that balance in life. For me sometimes that balance comes unstuck especially around "scanxiety"!!! I really think this word needs to get into the dictionary!!!
But generally I try to live my life best I can even with the chemo and doctors visits.
Fran is so reassuring in that explaining how treatment for metastatic disease is coming along and women and men are generally having longer and better quality of life. This makes me hopeful that one day we will have a cure are metastatic disease will have a cure.
I cant fix my disease but Im going to try and get the best I can from life! Bucketlist items are the norm in our household, especially as I have 3 young children (9,12 and14) who I really want to see into adulthood. We plan for the future, and live life to the fullest. Next bucketlist item is a cruise to New Caladonia!
