Well I have officially been discharged, I'm absolutely over the moon very rarely will anyone see me cry (I'm an ugly crier-proper ugly) but I'm so pleased I was wearing waterproof mascara because i was a complete mess, I was already given the all-clear in December but after today I can now get back to the person I used to be without having that uncertainty of it returning.
Apart from a couple of members on here I've kept my diagnosis to myself mainly because my way of dealing with things is by not dwelling on them plus I'm no good at receiving sympathy, I get by mainly by using humour and I'd much rather someone tell me to put my glad rags on because we are hitting the tiles than them sitting holding my hand crying -I really don't like people being sad.
I know tensions have been high on here lately but regardless of what's going on I just like to take this opportunity to say, I beg each and everyone of you to please get yourself checked especially if you're concerned about something, don't be a fool by putting it off because cancer doesn't wait around for anyone and it doesn't discriminate, I spent most of my life thinking I was invincible and it proved me wrong.
I'm one of the lucky ones and sadly a beautiful family member wasn't, we carry the brca gene. (i dont want to say which relative because i know how sick and cruel some people on the app can be) I don't want to ram my advice down people's throats all I'm asking is please don't take your life for granted because it's way too precious.
I don't want to scare people either because I was extremely fortunate to still be able do the things I enjoyed and i lived a relatively normal life even when i was undergoing treatment and numerous surgeries, I'm not saying it's easy by any means but there's so many people who don't attend their cancer screenings out of fear, has my life changed? Absolutely, but cancer didn't and doesn't define me, in fact it's made me stronger and even though I had a cracking pair of tits before my diagnosis, I have an incredible pair now. (○)(○)
Don't think you're invincible guys because trust me life has it's ways of humbling you.
Rant over you may now all get back to what you were doing.
Celebrations pending until the weekend and thank you to everyone for your lovely messages i appreciate them all.
congratulations
