Despite being diagnosed two weeks ago (and the obvious waiting anxiety for 4 weeks before), I have just completed my exam for the degree I’m doing. I’m not sure if I’ve passed, certainly not revised as much as I would have liked, but I sat it. I did the work. The uni said I could postpone it, or maybe not even sit it at all, but I decided not to let cancer win today.
When you are faced with this situation it’s easy to think “what’s the point? I probably won’t graduate anyway”, but I thought “who cares if I graduate, I’m doing the exam anyway”. Cancer may be taking a lot from me right now, but it didn’t take my exam. Not today Cancer, not today.
Well done @boobtube1 that’s a great achievement with all you have going on at the moment I sincerely hope you pass and think of the graduation you will have to look forward too
You have revised gone through the course, you are an inpspirtanial, The waiting is the hardest, lonelist part.
Dont need to fingers crossed as you have past. they can also put notes on you have
Thank you, I may just scrape through but that’s OK. Next time I’ll do better. I think they would let me be excused from the exam to be honest as they know the situation, or at least postpone it, but I wanted to do on my own merit and sit the day all my other fellow students sat it.
I was diagnosed two years ago and looking back if there was one thing I could change it would be to have not allowed cancer to steal certain experiences from me. You didn’t let cancer take that exam away from you and that is simply brilliant. Massive well done to you and best of luck with your treatment and degree. x
Thank you, yes I think if you can not let it take precious moments from you then that’s great. Sometimes it’s hard not to though. But where we can we try our best. X
Fantastic! We can only live in the present so it’s so important to value it. Yes we’ll make plans but it shouldn’t stop us acting on things that matter now.
