Yes, sometimes I wish they’d documented his recovery and return to sport at such a high level. He is 82 this year!!
Wow! Well done you two on your healthy lifestyle!! Yes, it sucks, living in a house where 100% have had cancer! Neighbours across the road have 100% As well .... and 3 other neighbours with 1 partner diagnosed. Not sure if that would be classed as a cluster? And guaranteed not eating their own veg, probably drinking ‘too much booze’ and not exercising enough!! I guess, with both having their partners ‘thru it’ previously, We would be a little more prepared for the overall gist of things, even tho my diagnosis was still a slap in the face! Totally unexpected!
Yep .. Unless they’ve had cancer themselves, the boffins are just parroting what they’ve read or been told by others/patients either at university or once they are in a Dr’s practise. They have no ‘actual’ experience of experiencing the disease, @Annie C .... so like you, I really value the info we get from our BC sisters (and brothers) here on the forum .... cos they’ve lived it and have no reason not to tell the truth - no matter how confrontational it may be. Some are luckier than others with less complex procedures, but that initial fear upon hearing the diagnosis & initial biopsies and results are the same for Everyone, I reckon.
The way I see it .... I HAD cancer, it was removed. Right now I am doing some ‘mopping up’ exercises ..... It is not unlike having a baby! You are pregnant, you have the baby and are no longer pregnant!
i am a firm believer in being kept busy doing things you love (or work, if you must ... for those youngies!) once you are able to after surgery and the other procedures ... even whilst going they those procedures. It works for me. It worked for my hubby! ;) He was already exercising in bed, within days of coming out of theatre, which AMAZED the hospital staff! At that point in time, he couldn’t even sit up by himself, but was doing what he could!
Take me care and stay well xx
