I've been in remission from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma for the last ten monhs. I work in child care and it has been challenging to deal with the physical part of my job. Emotionally I find it very rewarding, that's what keeps me coming back. I'm enjoying being part of a dynamic team and I like working with the other girls. My specialist told me the neuropathy in my feet will eventually subside so I deal with the stiffness and tingling in my feet.   The stiffness in my right leg is mostly from falling twice during my chemo treatment and my leg is still not quite right but the doctor said that will also get better. I'm nowhere near 100% but I feel lucky to get another shot at life and to get back to the job I didn't get a chance to enjoy when I was diagnosed in October last year. I work on a permanent part time basis for the moment and have asked that I do no more than 4 shifts a week until I am better.    It's also great for my family to have me back after all those health problems, I have two children in their late teens and their lives were turned upside down when I got sick. All in all I am happy and look forward to the future, I still fear the lymphoma coming back but I try not to focus on it as it will detract from the quality of my life now that I am trying to get on with things.  ...

Hello Paul and thanks for the reply and yes I am very fortunate with my outcome thus far but also very grateful for the last 5yrs even with all the pain and misery I wouldn't change a thing because everything I went through brought me here and right now despite everything that could be seen as a negative I could safely say I am one of the most happiest men in the world and the fact is I had too go through hell to get here but I am not a religious man but I am spiritual and with that I will sign off by saying its easy being negative when you think everything is going wrong but just stop and try too be positive and it will literally change your life peace!!!! ...

No-one is perfect and we all make mistakes in our lives. Lance Armstrong has done good and helped people - and has done some wrong as well. Does that really negate the good done? And is it his responsibility to carry others' expectations of him on his shoulders? So many other people in the public eye do wrong but don't seem to get the on-going attacks that he does now. He is now dealing with the after effects of his actions. Time to let him be, I think. Let him without sin cast the first stone. ... View more
