Hi my name is Kim and I have been a cancer survivor since 29 May02. I am 41 and I have 4 boys and I’m married to a lovely man called Andy. Due to his work we might be moving into Oxfordshire or Essex, when our twin boys have finished their A levels next June.
I have a really good network of docs,nurses, psychologists, a good hospital etc and I’m scared of moving somewhere where I might not get, that much needed support. Writing this is making me realise that I might be using this as an excuse to get out of moving but it is actually really, really important to me. I thought I was dying and suffered really bad with chronic depression but I don’t want this affecting/deciding my life anymore.
I’ve been going to church recently and they made me think about my life at the moment. Do I want to stay on this steady, no stress train journey or do I want a new challenge, excitment, new commitments???
Would love to speak to anyone who is from anywhere within those counties, to share info and maybe help each other out. I used this site alot when I was first diagnosed and it really did help me cope with things and I talked to some lovely people.
I would really like to help people and show them that we can survive and live a life and motivate them to live each day. I will be looking at volunteering within a cancer environment when we move or work with anyone who can make things better for cancer patients.
Hope to hear from somebody. I live in Richmond North Yorkshire at the moment and it will be a big move/change for all of us.
Thank you for reading my post Kim x
