Christmas

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.

Happy Christmas, with love,

Solange 😊

So glad that you can enjoy Christmas with a full head of hair!

Mine came back so tightly curled, it took me a while to get it under control and I still surprise myself when I look in the mirror.

You look terribly young to be suffering from Ovarian Cancer.

Please keep us up to date on your progress.

And have a happy Christmas!

Hugs,

Laura

Hi 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.

I hope you feel as good as you look 😀.

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
