When I first came to this forum I was searching for positive stories like a crazy woman!
I was diagnosed at stage 4 and needed hope fast.
Here I sit 3 years out and living life every day to the best of my ability. I've been back at work full time since a few months after treatment and find my energy levels are 'normal'.
I've had a few issues since treatment but none that severely impacted my quality of life. I've been blessed, I don't have bladder or bowel problems and I don't have pain or discomfort.
I have been NED all this time and the anxiety still sneaks in every now and then but mostly I live in a place of gratitude.
You may feel scared, you may feel anxious, and you may feel hopeless. I'm writing this to say there IS hope ❤
Thank you for this just what I needed to hear right now. I’m about to start treatment in a week or so. Just recovering from a laparoscopic surgery to check for spread still waiting on final pathology results. They weren’t able to put in a stent on my left ureter so the drs hoping after a week or 2 of radiation the tumor will shrink enough to free my ureter and kidney. It’s causing me pain everyday but still hoping for best outcome. Story like yours keeps me going. Thank you and sending you love and big hugs. Xx
