well i am very happy today, saw my oncologist who told me i am just now one year in remission and i won't see her again for another three months. all my bloods are fine and i have no lumps or bumps and i definatly dont need a scan! and my fertility tests came back and everything is fine! i am so relieved. my oestrogen levels are a bit high but she said that they will balance out over time and this is whats causing the spots and greasy hair and (most recently) dark hairs on my tummy (eugh) but she said it will settle. i will speak to my gp and ask maybe i should go on the pill? not sure but we'll see.
so really i just wanted to say thank you to everyone thats been there for me throughout all of this and calmed me down when i was getting upset and reassured me everything was going to be okay. i honestly wouldn't have coped with it as well as i (think) i did.
I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Life is out there waiting for you.....
And by the way, you've helped me a lot, too, Amanda. We all need one another.
I'm very pleased for you as well Amanda. Therapists have their place, but there's nothing quite like being told "actually, everything's OK". Good news is good news.
Best wishes
Simon
i just read my very first thread. it is so strange. i read it not that long ago but i still forgot most of what i had written. my first treatment i got the flu a few days later but my second treatment i had no side effects except the nausea. i forgot that i had the excrutiating hand pain and i thought the leg pain was towards the end of my treatment but it was near the beginning. but to read how i was coping is so strange to think that i dealt with it so well then but now i am having such trouble with it. and i know it really happened but it still doesnt feel real.
i can still have babies! it's really all i'm happy about at the moment!
Congratulations Pink, I have been in remission since 1990/ I believe after 5 years you are considered cured. You should now have a long, healthy and fulfilling life and having battled this disease and won you be a stronger person and as a result you will always be mindful of the things in our lives that we take for granted. You are a strong, tough young lady you are a SURVIVOR, never forgett that when life gets a little tough at times. I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one year down!
