you know what? I cannot remember when I last looked at this blog or did anything with it. The reason is clear that once you've come through the "Big C" and returned to "normal" life you get on with things and shouldn't look back. Occasionally I may talk to someone about it but here's a thing. Last weekend I went out with my fellow survivor, of Prostate Cancer, and we both had ours at the same time and supported each other through it. We went out for a Curry and a few beers and we didn't mention it once. We may have discussed current crazy Government responses, finance, political incompetence and so on but not once did we discuss our cancers, or anything like it.
So, to those going through it all and I do sympathise with you, it all comes out right in the end and suddenly life returns and that's it. 16 or 17 years worth of treatment and some of the latter stages weren't truly needed but at least I was checked regularly and I'm OK. The fight with my weight and BP goes on but I think I am going to sort that out shortly with a complete turnabout in the way I work and eat especially as I stare into Retirement.
Anyway, the message is, that it gets better, once you're over it you have all the other mundane day-to-day life problems to deal with. The trauma and the experience should go away. Live for today, don't look back or regret etc. Enjoy your life, you got a second chance and you need to take it, my friend, with both hands.
