Another reprieve

34 Replies

Hi all

I don’t come in here often lately, but still log in to see how people are doing.

I thought hard about posting my news because of the lovely ladies going through tough times. But those that know me know that I’ve always said that we should share good news as much as the bad. I truly believe that it helps those who are newly diagnosed.

Had my 21 month post front line chemo check yesterday and can’t quite believe that I am still in complete remission with a CA125 of 11.

When first diagnosed I couldn’t see this far, I was convinced it would be quick to return. Since entering remission I’ve lived life to the full and been jetting around to fantastic places, I’ve had a fourth grandchild and started a new nursing job...... not bad for someone who was told by a vile GP that I would never return to work......

Love and hugs to all of you

Marian xxxx

This is the kind of news that helps everyone when feeling a little helpless. Good to know that life can be good after the devastating news on diagnosis. Keep well x

Brilliant! Jetting around and holding down a new job as well and it's not as if nursing isn't hard work either.

That’s amazing Marion, I too live life to the full, travel and have 2 grandkids I didn’t think I would live to see.

I think good news is helpful since it can be done by anyone if they get half a chance, we live life by the seat of our pants, but take every opportunity of a positive outcome.

I think it’s brilliant to prove the doubters wrong!!

Well done love

Marian-you are right--always good to share the good news--not even only for the newly diagnosed. SO happy for you and love that you started a new job when you were told you would never work again! Here's to continuing to live your life to the fullest! Congratulations. oxoxoxxo

Lovely news - I too hesitate about posting, and upsetting those going through difficult times, but if all posts are about bad things, it skews the picture for those newly diagnosed. I kept off the site for nearly a year after my recurrence as I felt overwhelmed and worried there was no hope for me, reading tragic stories of failure of treatments and awful side effects, though everyone on here is wonderfully supportive.

That was last year - I've been on Niraparib for over a year now, and yesterday my oncologist told me my CT scan showed nothing worrying, my CA125 is stable and the lowest it's been, and I'm enjoying life to the full. Congratulations on the latest grandchild - my first is due next week; something I thought I wouldn't see in my darkest hours, and I plan to make the most of every moment. x
