Survival

Dearest dearest Friends
Today I received the wonderful news that following my end of first year scan … I am clear. Wow, I am the happiest lady alive. I have so many people to thank for helping me to get to this wonderful milestone … my so precious family and friends, my incredible medical team … thank you especially to Professor Paineau, his amazing team, Charmayne and her amazing gang of nurses at the Rene Gaudechau in France … my teddy bear who absorbed so many tears and also to my worldwide cyber support group … YOU, each and everyone of you who read this. This site is amazing … tears, joy, sadness, happiness, but above all you give hope, support and love. If there is one thing I can give anyone who goes through this horrendous CC journey from hell, it is this, please, please find something to laugh and giggle about every day … it’s not a cure but the best tonic every invented. Thank you, I love living. xxx

Hello again special friends. It has been a while but I am delighted that my first post chemo and radio scan was clear, although I do have some scar tissue from the radiation and alot of pain in my shoulders and arms for which I will have physiotherapy. I am also on antidepressants to help me recover from trauma. My family and I have been on an awful roller coaster ride but life is bright again and i pray that it could be the same for anyone suffering from this dreadful disease. xx
