just six more weeks and then all of this will be over!!! I can put it down to (bad) life experience. maybe in a few years time i'll be able to look back and laugh(?!!!) who knows. i can't belive how quickly the past 5 months have gone! It seems like yesterday that i was finally diagnosed. i've stopped taking people with me when i get treatment!!! i remember when i had my first treatment and i swore that i'd always have someone there cause i didn't like being around all the 'sick' people cause i've never thought of myself as being sick. but now i get a lot of uni work done in the hours im sitting doing nothing and i get bored talking to the same person for hours. it's weird how much everything changes in such a short space of time huh?

I am so proud of you, as you managed to remain upbeat and calm about things, I know you had a few bad moments, but you remained strong

I have come to know you well, and I really help you will remain on this forum when you are fully better,as I will still need you, and everyone else, can learn from your experience.

Lots of love and hugs your friend susie xx

Thank you so much. That made me cry. Of course I will remain on this forum! You won't get rid of me that easily! I honestly don't think i would've had the same strength as I've had if I didn't have you guys to talk to. Other people to share you stories and experiences with and to to give advice to all the new people and know that people are listening to your advice and you are making a difference. You guys have all been amazing and theres no way I could've done all this without you.
Love you loads and I'll speak to you when you get out of hospital.

To all of "you"---
I, too, feel an amazing gratitude toward you all.
I plan on remaining on this forum, too---I know first-hand, all the good it can do. When I first posted, I was at my wit's end. I still have a long haul, but all of you help immeasurably!

Ok, this is something i keep meaning to post and always forget, just over a month ago after i got out of hospital i had a sore chest and was out of breathe more often. When i went in for my treatment i told the nurses and the doctor told me i wouldnt get the bleomycin drug. they then had me sheduled for a respitory function exam and that was perfectly normal and by this time my hest and breathing had went back to normal. The next timei went in for chemo i was told i still woulndt get the bleomycin just to be on the safe side. And on tuesday when i was in again i was told i wouldn't be getting it again! Now i'm kinda worried (ok, really worried) that if this thing comes back in a few years time or something else goes wrong i'm always going to think that it was because they stopped giving me one of the drugs.
