Living Life to the full....!

[Lyndy]

Hi Everyone

Hope you are feeling ok today. Just thought I would post a little update. I have been in remission for 18 months now and over the summer I've been out there doing some 'must do' things such as galloping down a beach, getting a puppy (!), dyeing my hair (see pic) , going glamping (lol) and my first ever visit to the Chelsea Flower show!

Like many others I was very much affected when we lost the lovely Clare, who's funeral is today. She was often in my thoughts over the summer and she gave me a sort of inspiration to say 'yes' to new experiences and to have a go at things.... because she wasnt able to do this somehow I felt that I couldnt spend time feeling sorry for myself or worrying about the future... I needed to be out there living life and doing stuff in a way that I am sure Clare would have done had she been granted that time.

So my time is almost up-next week is my Oncology appt when I find out if I get another 3 months of freedom or 'the other'. Although I am nervous (no symptoms but when did that ever stop the worries?) I am very grateful for this summer, the memories will stay with me whatever happens next. Lots of Love Lyndall

Hi Lyndy

It makes me so happy to read your post , good to hear positive things. I'm about to have my second chemo next Friday so I have a long way to go.

Keep well!

Lyndy, I am smiling reading about your adventures. Living your life to the fullest is what Clare would want each of us to do. Breathing, free of fear, with an open mind and heart we can all keep doing good in the world. As I think of how much time I may or may not have everything of no importance falls away. Your blonde hair looks really cute.

Living life to the full is the only way forward and I'm so glad you've been able to do this. Planning what I'm going to do once treatment is over is one of the things that has been getting me through the chemo!

Good luck for next week.

Much love Paula xx

Hi Lindy , loved your post and the photo. You are right we should live our life to the full as much as possible . I too was so sad about Clare. She gave me lots of lovely words when I was feeling low . Sometimes in this life you get to know people who live a real impact on you and she was one of them . Although I never met her I felt I knew her . I do hope your three monthly check goes well and you get another reprieve to go on and all the wonderful things you have planned . Chris 😘😘🌻

am so glad....hopefully you will be one of those who has a long long remission...thanks too for your thoughts on Clare's funeral. Am sure we all wish she had had more time...perhaps in the next life?

Hi Lynda, What a lovely post,& like you I have also thought about Clare throughout the summer months & especially today of course.It is hard when you go for these 3 month appointments,I know like most I get wound up about 2 weeks before & even after the appointment it seems to take me quite a long time. I never felt unwell when I was first diagnosed so I do wonder what is going on sometimes inside.

Carry on regardless is my motto & try to enjoy life as much as you can. I hope that your checkup goes well for you. You look great & your hair so well done.xxx

Lovely post. The only way is onwards and make new memories every day. I have been thinking about Clare today too 💕. I know how you feel about check ups I have one coming up in a couple of weeks and am starting to get myself all anxious again....thoughts back to now..onwards is the only way.

Best wishes to you Lynda
