Cancer good news report.

[Vic1970]

Hi all,I have seen the news a few times today and thought what a great report it was on BBC news.They were saying how having cancer now isn't the death sentence it was in the seventies before the so called"war on cancer"that was started by researchers ,scientists and oncologists in America.Praise be for the yanks!

Also it raised awareness of his emotionally and psychologically challenging it was to go through the treatment and surgery.The implications of having time off work and financial struggles were brought to light a side of battling cancer that no one really thinks about till it happens to them.The report said that having cancer these days was "life changing" not so much "life limiting",how very true!well done bbc!(do they still have points of view ?-I'm going to email somebody!),these were things I never thought about before I had cancer that's for sure.Positive thoughts averybody!!!☺

I had cancer treatment three years ago and suffer from terrible fatigue.

Thanks Vic I will try to find on iPlayer. It is life changing and to be sure the treatment leaves a legacy. And of course metastatic (secondary) cancer is life limiting. But I refuse to get bogged down in the 'what ifs' and prefer to live life as fully as I can, which some days is easier than others!!

I wholeheartedly agree with everything that loves radio said. Best wishes to everyone at whatever stage you are at xx

I totally agree the report was the best I have seen for many years and I hope people watching it who don't have cancer have a better understanding of what you go through other than the physical side ..I did think at the time some people I know could do with listening to it . Email the BBC why not ...too many people can moan and complain when things go wrong but I am a firm believer in telling people when they get it right .in fact I will email them as well .....Take care
