TF , a lovely story and post.
Just got home from UCLH from my appointment for Pet Scan Results having been re diagnosed for lung cancer (for the third time), eight odd weeks ago now.
Well after four years eleven months, and them being 99% sure it had returned, I have just been given the all clear of any trace of cancer. Hard to explain how I feel right now, there were no treatment options, still got my "terminal" tags from all the other conditions, but again seeing other patients as i have every week for five years, with missing limbs, blindness and incredible suffering and bravery, I just feel very humble, grateful and immensely relieved.
Most importantly, I wanted to thank all you guys, and a few who have contacted me from other BBs with the same illness, for every ounce of kindness and support you have afforded to me these past five years. There have been many times it all got just too much. Wanted you to know how much it meant to me, and will always do.
So a heartfelt thank you to so many, another good day here to finish it off too, incidentally.
And finally TF, how weird you should post in reference to your friend from yesterday................."" After 5 years he is cancer free. """ Well mine is only 4 years 11 months!!! lol, but you can imagine how i feel. Onwards , forwards and always keep punching!!....................C7
