Today is my birthday and yet a few months ago I thought my friends would be celebrating without me. . I planned it all,, but someone is looking out for me and had different ideas and here I am after having the most wonderful day with my friends. In pain and can't sleep but I would not change it. Lol
But the main reason I am writing is to show that not all statistics are spot on. Sometimes our bodies find ways of coping and get to shock even the doctors. So if you get bad news, have faith and don't just assume what they say is right. It has made me more determeed that ever to keep living...small steps can add up to quite a journey and its the journey that counts. I am not sitting back and waiting, I am living in celebration of life until its time to go.
Sorry for writing but I had such a good day I just had to share my happiness or I would have burst! x

Hi Kitjules,
Hippy! Hoppy! Happy! Birthday! and may there be many more happy birthdays to come, we are living proof that they don't always get it right, God's timing is His alone not ours, not the medics or anyone else and it really is one day at a time. Best wishes lots of love x G x
As a bloody minded bolshie old cow who used to teach statistics to A level Geography students I refuse to be a statistic! So welcome to the club! We got cancer, we didn't become it and we don't have to give up!
Im with you all the way on your thoughts. Nobody knows exactly what is going to happen and it infuriates me when doctors say this is how it is . You just don't know, so yes get on with living and iam thrilled to hear you had such a lovely day. Cheers xxx and lots of love , coco xx
You know what they say.... There are lies, damn lies and statistics! I figure statistics can be fiddled to read exactly how you want them, so to hell with them!
Happy Birthday!!! It is fantastic to hear such enthusiasm!! Down with statistics!! Your message really made me smile. Well done you and long may it continue!
Happy Birthday Jules, You are one lady that has proved them wrong. I am pleased you had a great Birthday and There will be plenty more to come. You are quite near me I'm in Swanley, I lived in Greenwich many years ago and I love the park there. Keep being positive I am always positive when someone says I look well I say I feel well. I don't think of myself as ill I have a condition. Hope you have many more Birthdays and keep feeling positive .
Happy belated birthday and I read your post when I was having one of my moments so it really cheered me up so thank you. Today the sun is shining and we are all here so bah humbug to statistics and hello to happy days
Belated birthday greetings to you!! Thank you for your lovely post and for sharing your happiness with us. It certainly made my day a lot brighter especially since I had been feeling a bit down today.
I am so glad you had a lovely celebration with your friends. As you say statistics can be wrong and we should listen to our bodies. Well done for keeping your spirits up. I too believe that someone out there looks after me and have the utmost faith in that. I am therefore determined to enjoy each moment of each day as best as I can.
I wish you a very happy, healthy and fun filled year and may you celebrate lots more birthdays.
Thank you all so much for your wonderful greetings and comments about statisics. . . I think I will write them down so when I have a off day, I can read them and make myself smile again!!!!! You are wonderful ladies indeed. Thank you so much.
Happy belated birthday Jules and well donefor refusing to comply with the statistics. I've got one coming next week, my second since diagnosis so another occasion to wave two fingers at them
Love Mary xx
Oops am late but glad you had a good day. Right on: stats are crap. I am not a bloody number! Nor are you! Nor are ANY of us
Happy belated birthday and you plan on next years too...
Its a bit late but happy birthday and many more to come..
never ever say sorry for writing on here. I have learnt that the people on here are always here and always always want to hear what we have to say. It is so nice to hear anything positive and your right to have faith. Keeping fighting hun.
Happy belated birthday Julie. Never forget the old saying attributed to Mark Twain. There are three types of lies; lies, damn lies and statistics. Keep smiling xx
I wish you a very Happy belated Birthday and for all the days to come. You are so right about the statistics. We are all individual after all. I've heard this from other people recently and it has really helped me to cope. All the very best.
