Quietly celebrate with me

5 years ago tonight I found a lump which turned out to be aggressive breast cancer. I didn't think I'd last a year let alone 5. I haven't shouted from the rooftops or announced this anniversary on social media or even mentioned to family and friends (don't want to jinx things) but quietly lying on sofa immensely grateful that my children are all sleeping soundly upstairs with me still here.

wonderful news! 🥳

You’re all so lovely, thank you. Your kindness is just what I needed, to mark this anniversary it in some way and have it acknowledged but not turning it into fanfare and dredging up PTSD related memories (my children were tiny at the time). Thank you 💕

Lovely news, sending you positive vibes for years to come.

breathcalmly · 06/07/2022 22:09

Ah you are all so kind, so glad I posted now as seemed a bit strange lying on the sofa thinking about it but not marking it in any way and all your kind comments have given me a warm glow. Also goes to show that something that started off being my worse nightmare has not ended up being as horrendous as I feared (and I have nice pert (fake) boobs 🤣)
