I went to meet my new GP today and he gave me the results of the blood test that I had done last week. My CA125 is 6, (anything up to 30 is 'normal') my diabetes is well under control and I have had my original statin restored to get better control over my cholesterol. He advises me to go on pushing myself a little physically too! Aparently it takes more than a year to recover from major surgery, hence the tiredness, but I am advised to try a bit more cycling and walking a bit further.
I am now not expecting any unpleasant surprises on Thursday. Theatre again tonight!

How wonderful! So good to share in your celebrations. There was a Macmillan research project recently which said that exercise moderately helped recovery and to prevent recurrences. So get walking! If you want something new, supportive, gentle and totally absorbing to try ... google tai chi classes in your area. I absolutely love tai chi and, although it is infuriating as it takes a long time to get the moves right, It impacts on bone density and general health from the outset. Good fun too with lovely people seem to participate , a certain type! Good luck, and enjoy your celebrations!
Great! It depends where you live, and what form you did. I do taoist tai chi, as prescribed by Master Moy! If you google taoist tai chi society uk, you may find a class. There's a "find a class" option.
I just love it, it takes up so much of my mind, I don't have time to think of anything else at all. Very relaxing
Walking was mine but I am worried about other people having to get me back if I cannot manage the full 6 - 8 miles. Still I am planning to do more walking into town and back!
That is fantastic!!! I'm so glad you got good news, after all you've gone through you can begin to move forward and I imagine it feels very liberating. Lots of luv Sarah xxxx
Great news Margaret. Well done. I love walking and am hoping to get out cycling too when I get my energy back after finishing chemo. Roll on the summer and some nice weather! xxxxxxxxxx
Wonderful news. I'm sure spring will be here soon and you can get out and enjoy some nice walks and bike rides.

Just seen your news. Brilliant..........I have started swimming and try to walk instead of drive if possible. I'm 2 years post surgery and have only just realised that for the last few weeks I am not so tired!!!!!!
