Re: I've got cancer!
I lost a kidney to cancer. Other bladder operations as well. The news that I had cancer seemed a death sentence at the time but I'm still here 26 years later.An attitude of mind helps. Not a 'determination' frame of mind perhaps but more just getting on with life the best you can regardless. It's the doctors and nurses that do the fighting part and they do this really well. All we can do as patients is keep turning up for the appointments.
I site my own problem only as a way of saying that cancer isn't always the end.
All the best to you.

it is thought that the way we react to things getting stressed/worrying can affect the production of antibodies and way our body is able to overcome illness. I believe when we come to terms with being told we have a serious condition, if we try not to worry and instead relax our body and mind, it gives both our body and the medical profession a better chance of making us well.

It's just that the surgeons put the wind up you, he looked at my tummy and said "you are a very tubby person aren't you". I am trying soooo hard to lose more weight but I can't wave a magic wand and it's all gone.
Thank you for your reply.
All the best to you.
