Why do I do it. I have just finished 10 mths of treatment 4 FEC, 4 Tax, and 6wks of radiotherapy, am triple neg so that’s it for me and had all the scans etc , hopefully they think the small nodule on my lung is scar tissue as still there after all the treatment with no increase or decrease etc. So for the last couple of weeks after a much deserved holiday I have tried to regain some kind of my old life back. Have a 3yr old and 17mth yr old and then tonight I come back and look at this Websight which at the start I was on every minute of the day and I know it is very useful for people and a great support but for me it scares the living day lights out of me, as I read things that I don’t want to know about statistics, recurrences, triple neg being a bad one to have, secondaries and most of all about mums dying with young children and I just want to tell this horrible bloody disease to F**! off.
So I am not coming back on line again hopefully forever but I just wanted to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU to all off you for replies , comments and encouragement and to wish all off you the VERY BEST of luck but I for one have given this website far to much of my time and now I am going to live my life however long that may be to the very full.
All the best zjlove.
A big well done for for regaining some of your old life back.
I really do wish you all the best for the future especially with your ‘little ones’
I am sure that it will be more more profitable putting your time into them rather than this site.

I’m right there with you. I am now 18 months post dx, back at work and living my life pretty much as I did before. Why then, you are asking, am I still on this website? The answer is, I don’t know. I think it’s a bit like a security blanket, everyone on here understands what you are going through, how you are feeling etc. I don’t post very often and only ‘come on’ a couple of times a week (like you, used to be every day), so I suppose I’m weening myself off. It can be a scary place, bloody statistics, so I am a bit 'selective, as to what I read, but it can also be a godsend. I can see myself waving goodbye in the next few months, but also wanted to thank everyone for their unending love and support - you are all amazing.
Good luck in everything that you do and don’t let the buggers get you down.
