3 years

Over a year since my last blog post. I’m still here and still keeping the cancer at bay. Repeating the same 4 weeks cycle of treatment and 3 monthly scans.

The last year has been good and I plan to be here for a while.

But the main reason for the post is that it’s 3 years on Sept 7th since my cancer diagnosis. I think that’s worth celebrating with a post.

When I was first diagnosed I assumed the worst. Expecting imminent death. I then didn’t know if I’d make the Christmas and then if I’d make a year.

In the back of my mind is 5 years. That seemed to be the best I could expect in terms of life expectancy and I’m hoping to crash through that and be around for many years to come.

Immunotherapy is amazing.

    I’m thrilled to read this Steve. I’ve been on a similar journey…… first diagnosed in 2018, hysterectomy- thought that was over and done, but metastases two years later in the bowel and peritoneum. I was allowed immunotherapy thanks to Covid altering all the rules, and it’s been magical- also had a spot of radiotherapy, and today am having a colonoscopy to visualise an “area of avidity”….. here’s to us, eh?
