Happy Christmas...here we are

SSInUK

Tonight I remember the one positive thing cancer did for me - it taught me to be grateful for the day. This day is Christmas Day. And as I am writing this and you are reading - cheers. We all have another chance at a happy Christmas. I spent too many christmases before bc mourning the imperfections of my life. Now I know better. Whatever this day brings, be it family dissent, sick dogs or burnt potatoes - or indeed lonely moments or disappointmemts; and whatever the year ahead holds, even if (especially if) cancer is lying in wait, I’m writing this to remind myself to just be happy anyway. Have a great one wonderful ladies. We’re here!

Yes we are and what a wonderful post. Since March I have had 2 surgeries (total lymphnode removal on right side), 16 chemos with coldcap and 30 radiation treatments.. Just finished last Thursday so I am burnt and sore. But I am here to have another Christmas with my family and I am so grateful for that. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Yes! Here we are... I had my 6 month MO follow-up appointment a couple weeks ago. Thankfully, all is still well and good! (I always get nervous going to these appointments).

3 years ago (almost to this day) I completed all of my treatments.

My 4 year cancerversity is around the corner. Can’t quite believe it...

And, getting ready to run my first 50K next month.

Probably a stupid question, but does anyone else find themselves setting goalposts - what I mean is, I have my mammogram and u/s in June. Horrendous PTSD leads up to it and lingers for around a week later (assuming ok result). For me, it's afterwards is always, ok, I got to that for another year, I can breathe easier now. Then I'm the same with Christmas - I always worry around New Years Eve about what the new year might bring. So then I get to Christmas, and I'm like ... ok, I made it.

Anyway else do that?
