Hi

Well done! We need everyone to encourage others to be positive. It's not easy but it's worth it. Good luck with the book project. I'd often thought of trying something like that, but never got round to it.

Best wishes, Bill

Thanks Bill.

I know i am so lucky to be here today, it would not be fair of me to ignore that...

i feel for all the people suffering, thats not just the person with the desease, it effects everybody who knows that person.........

I cant run a marathon to help, but i can try and write a book.

That is such a great thing to hear, I was diagnosed 12 months ago T4, N1 Mxa, non curable.

I decided right from the word go I wasn't giving up. I think staying 'positive' and 'active' and key factors so i spread positivity where ever I go .

Good luck with the writing!

Hi, well done you. Can I ask what treatment you had? I'm T3b N1 M0 and am about to have my last chemo on Tuesday. I was told this week that anything else but chemo would be too dangerous because my tumour is in the centre of my lung right next to my windpipe. I was also told to do what I want and go where I want now while I still feel well enough and not to wait! Meanwhile I look and feel as fit as a fiddle (have been since I was diagnosed last October) so I can't believe what I'm being told. The chemo I've had so far has shrunk the tumour by half and although I've had the usual side effects I've coped with them quite well. I'd appreciate any information on how you've beaten it. Thanks and well done again.
