Well it is Christmas time again which in my case means another cancer diagnosis. for 4 of the last 5 Christmas’s I have been diagnosed with another local recurrence, I am seeing the onc at 8-30 am for some sort of plan, I guess more scans etc.
Not sure how many local recurrences one can have, but so far I gave been fortunate that there has be been no distant spread

OH well back to the grind stone I guess

Lindseyloo, that is just awful, I’m not sure how you manage to keep digging down and finding the energy, but you obviously do, and that tells me that you are an amazingly strong lady.

Hugs xx

Wow Linda, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had so many recurrences. I just can’t imagine how you must feel. I’m glad to hear your determination though. During treatment I thought I could never go through all that again but now that I’m a few months down the line I think I would feel the same.

Sending you my very best wishes. I hope they find a good plan that finally sorts it all out.

Hi Linda,
oh, that is just so much not fun! Poor you. I hope the plan is good. Wishing you lots of strength.
I have had two primaries, and the last two Christmases were rotten here, being mid-treatment… But to have to do this five times in a row, that must be very hard.
Big hugs, and hope the treatment will go well.

Oh dear Linda, that’s just rubbish isn’t it! Hope they’ve sorted out a treatment plan for you.
This is something we all fear, but, like you, if we have to face it, then we will.
And Christine, hope you have a more peaceful Christmas this year!
