My new normal has some more twists, l was told in September l had another kidney stone, but not to worry it shouldn’t move.Well l pasted last Thusday with no pain.It was a surprize to see this stone in my bag.Waiting for testing results. Also been feeling tired and cold a lot .My GP noticed my last blood test indicated l was slightly anemic.Now taking B-12 and awaiting blood test results. Wow, how cancer can change things. This all seems so miner compared to the RC. It seems I used to be so healthy all the time and now, well it is what it is. I’ll just have to keep on keeping on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today l just needed to THANKYOU ALL for being here.Knowing l’M not alone and someone understand s my fears and concerns, helps me with my HOPE .It strengthens my resolve , and reminds me to trust in my faith.It could be much worse. You have given me some peace of mind, and encouraged me to celebrate each day. To be able to feel so much love in my life is over whelming. May God grant you peace, and bring favor to your lives.
Hi Everyone
April 18th. two years and counting, got results from follow up x-rays and all is well.!!!!! NO SIGNS OF CANCER. Still have some kidney stones but they are small and we will just monitor at this time. My hockey season was over the end of March, but today I won the Stanley Cup. So tonight it’s out to celebrate. The first two drinks are for all of you who have held my hand on this crazy journey, and the next two, three or more are for me. Mostly water(IOI). To those of of you who are recovering or newly diagnosed, it is a journey and a long one. Yes l still get aches and pains and some days feel like #€*^/×#+¥. Today I’m celebrating, and one day you will celebrate too.Hi there Millize, congrats to you on your NO CANCER report!!! I, for one, will have a drink to you on your good news. All of us on here know what that journey looks like and it isn’t pretty and not fun. Aches and pains become minor nuisances in comparison to dealing with this cancer thing for sure and given a choice, I think most of us would choose to have the daily aches and pains. All the best to you as you celebrate!

This is a small part of how cancer has enriched my life, after going thru the fear and uncertainty of this disease, the chemo has caused major brain damage. l now live life. Somehow l have rediscovered how to live this crazy life. Just because l could l went singing in the rain, one of my neighbors asked if l was on drugs. I said yes high on life.The immortality of cancer, is a reminder that life is for the living.So even with the cancer we can still live, just do it to our very best everyday. Life in itself is uncertain so lets get out there and LIVE TO THE MAX. The cancer may slow us down, but there is more life to come.
Very well said and so very true. I think most of us who have this diagnosis do come to that bit of enlightenment at some point during the journey. Thanks for the reminder.
don”t know if this is where I ask the question…..was there any questions @ pre op about Rad Bladder removal that you wished you had asked ?
Hi Jim
Well l don’t think so, l did a fair amount of research on line.All the risk was pretty clear. For myself it was all in Gods hands l had done what l could.
My focus has been to live my life much as l had before. For the most part l have been able to do so.l just need to slow down more often.Uncertainty was my biggest challenge, tring not to over think the situation. Be informed and just deal with stuff as it comes.Hi it’s been awhile
Here l am 2 1/2 years later.Yes November’s test results where all clear.It’s a reason to celebrate, I do this because l’m very aware it could all change.l think about cancer every day , but it dosn’t run my life.I’ve also come to realize the the first three letters of cancer are CAN.For me this means ,
l Can beat cancer, l Can live a good life afterwards, I Can ajust to a new normal, l Can deal with the uncertainty, l Can be vulnerable and let others help me.
I CAN be a survivor of this disease CERIts been a while, recently l reached the three year mark. As it was very scary at the start, hang in there. Each CT brings uncertainty but you must still breath.
l have not forgotten all the fear. I again will celebrate the past six months and pray l will celebrate again in six months. Treat yourself with love , life the best life you can.Thoughts of yous always ( (((hugs) )))Congratulation on the 3 year mark Millize. Wishing you many more all clears going forward.
God Bless.
