Me too....I think it is about the only thing that keeps me going just now x

Hi Ncky, yes you are so right its also keeping me going as well. I hope you are doing ok Nicky as you are another fighter someone I look up to.

We are all aware this is a cancer website & will have sad stories but it's so refreshing when Kathy & others give us hope.

What it reminds me of is a little game I play with me baby grandson. I ask him if he is flat which he replies "yes nanny" so I then blow up his arms just like blowing up arm bands. Something I clearly recall my mum doing when we went swimming & that is what Kathy & other make me feel. Instead of feeling deflated I feel inflated, safe & hopeful as if I can do anything. So thank you ladies take care lot a of love Cindyxx

Hi Cindy...thank you. That is an amazing analogy. I think it is incredibly important we share the success stories and hope for it is only hope that keeps us going.

I just had an amazing Skype consultation with P.P From Cancer Options. She said she was amazed how much I had researched and she backed up much of what I have been looking at. Well worth speaking to her and I now feel a bit uplifted to try a few new things that she has suggested. And she has given me a bit more hope.

Her name was only recommended to me by so someone who met with her so proves to me how important it is for us to share information and stories.

Sharing info is do vital xxxx

Hi Nicky, you are so right. I have read so much since finding out I have a cancer that is hard to find & hard to cure. I am on here every day & make lots of little notes of things I need to research or ask my onc. Thank you take care love Cindyxx

Yes I have. I only had 9 months until a recurrence and had to start chemo again BUT My last chemo was 16 months ago and still counting. Kathy who has also commented is a lady that has inspired me from I first joined this site 3 years ago. Anything is possible xo

That didn't happen for me but I have read posts from people who did get longer second remissions.
