3 years ago today the world came in around my ears when I was told I had IBC. From the start the surgeon said give him a year and he would do his best. The onc was lovely but cautioned me that my BC was one of the nasty aggressive ones but they would throw everything at it.
I was so convinced I would not see the next Christmas that I would not even buy a new winter coat because I thought it would be a waste of money if I was going to die soon.
But hey I’m still here, it’s been hard at times and there have been problems, but life is good. I now believe that I will achieve my wish that all 5 of my adorable grandchildren , who were small at the time, will grow up remembering me. Seize the day is a much used motto, but it has a new real meaning now.
Today OH has arranged to take me to a special place for an indulgent afternoon tea and to hell with healthy eating. Tomorrow I will get on with LIFE, and yes I did get the new winter coat.
Love and thanks to all of you who have supported me over the last 3 years. It would have been even harder without you
FANTASTIC NEWS Andie, was feeling a bit down, only at the start of this journey but you have brightened my day How right you are “seize the day”.
