At the start of my diagnosis things looked great – within a year my cancer was NEAD (No evidence of disease) and I felt great – nothing was holding me back.
Fast forward my first progression, it hurt, but it was ok – I had a plan….Surgery. Back to NEAD and feeling great.
Second progression; there were a few choice words but I had a plan, an option full of positive stories. Again I was NEAD!
I always have to have a plan A,B,C etc. And as I did my research, and got involved in support network and began to understand my disease and the cancer world I now lived in, I realised I didn’t have an infinite number of plans and there were lots of other hurdles.
And I also started to live in this world where people died and didn’t get better.
