Thursday was the second anniversary of a surgery which I consider as my second birthday. So, happy birthday to healthy me! My hubby surprised me by a bouquet of flowers and two tickets to my favorite singer's concert for the same evening.I had such a wonderful evening out with the sweetest msn in the world thinking how miserable I felt two years ago and how the real future is different from what I imagined.
I'm posting this for all those terrified stressed out newbies who are on an emotional roller coaster right now.
Hey guys, I feel you, I've been there and let me tell you that believe it or not, time helps, and you'll emotionally feel much better.
I couldn't trust those who kept telling me I would laugh again as it seemed impossible to live a normal life knowing the possibility of recurrence But now, two years later, the diagnosis is sure on my mind but can't make me feel down most of the time. I still have scanxiety, every cough, pain or ache makes me remember that possibility but meanwhile I know I can't do any good by being worried all the time and this new perspective is what I learned from this terrible experience.
Many members join as soon as they know about their diagnosis and after some months once they're get back on track they have no reason to post anymore, so don't worry if many of members are new ones, it could be translated as good news.
Thanks to those who are always here to help each and every one of us, icemantoo, fox, footstomper, Brenda, Jojo,Apny, Jan4you, sblaric, Allochka, Jack, .......
RIP dear Dijinie,Nanosecond...
Wishing everyone a long happy healthy life
Forough

    What a wonderful post

    Happy to you and many years of health & happiness in your future.  I too have learned so much about life and how to cope with challenges, although sometimes I handle them better than others, too bad it took this "adventure" to grant me this wisdom.

    So happy for you Forough,

    Donna~

    Congrats Foroughsh!

    So very happy for you!   Let me too second your words for the newbies. Next month I will also be celebrating my 2nd Birthday and everything you have writen I second and relate to almost 100%  What was the scariest time of my life when I could not dare myself to think of a future or making plans, has with time given way to getting back a great joy in life and a much more relaxed state of mind.  Newbies, things will start looking brighter soon, give yourselves some time!
