Happy Christmas everyone

I hope that this post finds you as well as you can be. I just want to wish you all a happy Christmas wherever and with whoever you are spending it.

I have not posted for a while after being quite unwell and discovering that there is no effective treatment left for me after 4 years. I am determined to not let this latest setback stop me from being and enjoying being me for as long as possible. Today my daughter took me out for a magnificent hot chocolate. It made my day!!!!!

Please keep spoiling yourselves lovely ladies. You deserve it ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŒฒโ˜ƒ๏ธ๐ŸŽ„

Dearest Sian (my โ€˜Avastinโ€™ friend!),You deserve it too!

You look fabulous (how can we be so poorly??)....your face, your jumper, your hair, your smile!).

Yes, we must all keep on living happily & living each day to the full.

As others have said, new treatments do keep coming along, we never know how things will pan out; also how amazingly strong our (battered!) bodies are....never mind our strong spirits!

You have a wonderful, supportive family to help you, as well as those pets ๐Ÿฆฎ๐Ÿฑ

Hope to see you soon.....from a distance!!

Much love,

Linda xxx ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค—

Welshandproud in reply to Seasun36-uk

Thank you so much lovely Linda. Yes I agree, our bodies and minds are stronger than we think. We can achieve so much more than we would have thought. It would be amazing if a new treatment came along but until then we just must keep making the most of every good day. Sending you lots of love and looking forward to seeing you soon in a socially isolated way. Happy Christmas ๐ŸŒฒโ˜ƒ๏ธโ˜ƒ๏ธ

I have been quietly following you since I was diagnosed. We are similar age - I was 53 at diagnosis and now am 54. You are an inspiration, I know that's no consolation for the truly ******* awful place you are in but thankyou for your unknowing help x

That is such a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much. Can I ask when you were diagnosed? Sending you lots of love and a big virtual hug xxxxx โค๏ธ

Hi, I was diagnosed SEP 2019 the day after I ran the great North run, I thought it was just ibs. Stage 3c initially inoperable but lucky to get surgery in Feb on my daughter's birthday at same hospital she was born. Big debulking, like all ladies on here - 11 hours and spleen removed. Chemo and Avastin, nearly finished the Avastin but ca125 on rise so scan asap to see what's what. I think when I read your profile I felt I identified with you, similar age, really lovely lovely husband, 2 wonderful adult children- a very blessed life until this ****** came along. Anyway like you trying to enjoy life I still have many many good things in it and compared to many am very lucky. I really hope you have the best Christmas you can in the circumstances and as I say you are an inspiration. Xxx
