Thanks for updating your post.  I'm almost twice your age and waiting to hear back about my biopsy.  I'm pretty sure if I have cancer I have the same one as you.  I'm on the fence about having treatment if I do.  I know we all react differently to treatment but how did it go for you.  I have already had skin cancer removed 10 months ago. I'm just tried of waiting and not knowing  I hope you are well  ... View more

Hi thesanasoul, Thank you for your reply. I like reading of what different things people have done to help them through. It is now been 3 months since I’ve been having chemo. I had 4 AC ( nicknamed the red devil ) treatments and now I am on taxol. I’m up to no 5. I’m meant to have 12 taxol treatments if I don’t experience the neuropathy that comes with it. So far so good. The taxol ( for me) is much more tolerable, I feel really good and I am so happy that I have been able to go back to work. I’m transitioning slowly, doing a few days a week and hopefully in a month’s time I can go back full time again. You are right, rest was and is still so important, I’ve learnt not to fight the fatigue and if I feel tired I take a nap. Although I don’t feel as fatigued as much now compared to before. Another step closer to beating my cancer. I really found your blog regarding acupuncture interesting. Thank you for your message. Wishing you the best. 😊😊 ... View more

Hi Chris.  love your work  I feel each persons Cancer journey is a unique story be it the feelings you have emotionally or physically from the side affects from the treatment  i also feel that there is a connectedness with others who have also had Cancer just through the fact that they have or have had Cancer also.  I swing both ways on that  It gives you strength you maybe never knew you had to fight a Battle you never thought in a million years you would have to fight.  💜💜   ...

Hi Mistress 1 A shock to your system in more ways than one.    I was diagnosed withNHL 2006 and been Allclear since 2007 I would suggest you calling Cancer Council and asking about a service they offer call Cancer Connect, which is a one to one peer support with someone’s who  has had a similar as possible diagnose as you have and had treatments as close as they can match with you. And get them to give you a phone call  and ask them questions  Good luck moving forward.      ... View more

Another Survivor Shout-Out (from Oklahoma, USA)   The disase really stinks. But I am now 19 years and 3 months cancer free. I was stage 2+ tonsil cancer.  I won't lie. It hasn't been easy. But I'm still going strong, feeling good, just dealing with long-term effects of the radiation.  I just retired at age 64 and I'm enjoying my life with my best friend of 43 years, our 3 kids and 9 grandkids and still doing ministry (I was a pastor for 34 years). If I can help encourage anyone, don't hesitate to reach out. Blessings friends!  ... View more

Hi Amba You and your Mum are both in the middle of a scary time in your life, being recently diagnosed, starting treatment and how your Mum is feeling i was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s 14 years ago I have been Cancer free for 12 years and my best piece of advice is one step, one day at a time.  I am afraid there is no easy way forward  perhaps talking again to the Doctor again so as to reassure your Mum regards moving forward with it all.  Good Luck   ...
