So happy to be alive!

Since we retired 5 years ago, DH has had treatment for two totally different cancers. Our motto has been "we're OK until we're not OK". And writing this, we're OK and as it says in the song - we're still here!!
Best wishes to you and all in similar positions XXX

katek. Thanks for the link. A positive song. She was 85 there. What energy and great figure too.

My friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at 34, she is now 71 and her cancer is back but she is living life to the full, going on slides in the park with the grandbairns, gardening, walking and is a house fanatic scrubbing and cleaning every day. She has been an inspiration to me.

Here's your theme song ladies - the last minute is the best! My best wishes to you all.

Sadiesnan - so happy for you and others who have such good news.

My friend was given six months to live when she was 26 years old and she is now 91 and full of life.

Such great news on a really dull day, enjoy your Christmas.

Such a lovely thread, so good to read of your happiness Sadiesnan, and to hear of all the others who are "still here".
I love the idea of an "I'm Still Here Club" - what a positive, joyful get-together that would be!

That is wonderful congratulations and have a Very Happy Christmas.

Wrote long post and it vanished bloody annoying

I do think it's scary though, to realise how precarious life/health is

Well said ann. 16 years ago last month I had a heart attack. Most of the time I don't think about it either. It's just there at the back of the mind,
Long live all of us !

Love the idea of the I'm still here! club.

Cheers to all you survivors!

16 years tomorrow I had an op for Breast Cancer. Forget all about it most of the time until something like this thread reminds me. Well done to you all and continue to enjoy life, it's a great gift even though we don't always remember to be grateful.
