This day last year I was told in the middle of a ward that I had stage 4 cancer and that they could keep me in hospital over Christmas but they would get any treatment until after the new year So I might as well go home and have a good Christmas
I have a son with severe autism with a mental age if 5. My mind was in a whirl. Eventually I got home and did my best to have a good Christmas
This year the hair, eyebrows , and eyelashes have grown back after chemotherapy. I am so looking forward to this Christmas and intend to fully make the most of it I’m so grateful to be with my children
I wish everyone a lovely Christmas and hope all is well with you
Cheers aotter

You look wonderful!! Great to hear you can enjoy another Christmas. I so sympathise with you learning your news, especially just before Christmas. I think we're traumatised at such times. So pleased you can be with your children, especially with your son with severe Autism.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. A beautiful photo, we're all looking forward to a wonderful Christmas before a bit more treatment starts on the 27th.
Stunning photo 😍. Merry Christmas to you too. Amazing how Christmas focuses us on how far we've come from our diagnosis. Have a happy time with your family. ❤️Xx Jane 🎄
Thank you I’m so pleased to be alive and spending time with my family. I intend to make this Christmas much better than last year Wish you loads of positive events in the coming year Aotter
It's such a beautiful photo. You sound so full of hope this year after the shock of last year. My wish for you is a lovely Christmas and a New Year that is filled with hope that you get only good news about your condition. Take care.
Last Xmas I had no hair, eyebrows or eyelashes. I wore a hat at the dinner table as I did not want to be photographed bald. I still had a good but very emotional Xmas day with my family. This Xmas am feeling better after being quite depressed. I have a great head of hair, eyebrows and very long eyelashes 😂😂. I am going to have a great Xmas this year as I’m sure I will be faced with more chemo in January.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas and new year Aotter. Xxxxxx
