I finally finished my treatment last December but so far have been unable to find work. But my hair is growing fast and seems even curlier than before, the colour is a bit odd but that can soon be changed! I am still a blob which I am struggling to come to terms with but pray that once my life returns to normal, the weight will sort itself out. I am in training for a 20 mile sponsored walk which I had expected to help the waistline but this does not appear to be the case.
Already the discomfort of my chemo is a distant memory and I am confident and optimistic about my future. I’d got so used to annual check-ups that I keep forgetting that I now have them every 3 months. I have never been prepared to let cancer rule my life. Previously, I had, on occasions, wondered how I would feel if I had to face cancer for a second time. I had expected to crumble but the reverse has been true. Even tho’ the treatment has been harsher, the process has been so much easier. No fear of the unknown this time. When I told my GP(doctor) the news, he said that the reports looked good and the cancer had been caught early so really this was not a major event, more of an inconvenience. Guess what? He was spot on. And now it’s time to forget about it and get back to having fun, bring it on!
