I have to confess I did hug the nurse that came in with the news that my ca125 blood results were ......7. ........!!!!! This means that i am clear of any cancers so To all you novices out there that is REALLY GOOD and the best I could have hoped for, so I am feeling incredibly happy and lucky and really good about myself. A huge relief as its being hanging over me since receiving the letter requiring me to have a blood test and visit to the hospital last week. A neighbour did tell me that no matter if you've been clear three months or three years, the same stomach churning anxieties surface . She's right .
This afternoon I harvested veg and fruit and we opened champagne and had a lovely family supper, with everyone chipping in to help, it was perfect.
Had a pretty difficult weekend , my anxieties aside , steve has had awful crippling back pain and had to cancel a charter he had planned on Saturday , unheard of, then jack had to hobble his way through Sunday with a very painful knee. So most of the time has been spent dosing them up with painkillers, tripping over a prostrate husband who felt it more comfortable to periodically lie prone on the sitting room rug, or encountering a wan looking son looking lack lustre across one of the sofas....
I have managed to carry on swimming in the sea and march off down the beach with the dog in tow as often as I can, two swims yesterday at la coupe and bel val, and a 9:30 swim this morning.
Thanks to sw this morning who met me after the appointment and in a conversation' post results ' said how happy she was, " not as happy as me "I replied to which she said," actually I think I am"!!!!!
Spent sometime this afternoon with my 'girls' at St Ouen,, bless them.

ReplyDeleteThank you, whilst I do not want to wish my days away, each time I am clear means my overall chance of beating this disease gets better. Hoping your friend is progressing with her treatment x
