I just wanted to let all my lovely friends here know that I will be stepping away from the board for a while.
I have been diagnosed with breast cancer so have a tough year of chemo and surgery ahead.
I am very positive. The surgeon has ahem 'a lot to work with' so I hope that at the age of 60 I will emerge from this with a nice pair of perky pert c cups. Every cloud......
You are all wonderful, I will back to catch up with you all.
Xx

Hi all, a wee update from me.

I had a scan a few weeks ago and saw my oncologist today.
I've had the best news I could hope for at this stage. There is still a long road ahead, I will probably be on some treatment for the rest of my life, but the scan showed a reduction in the primary tumour and no sign of the secondary area of concern.
I feel optimistic for the first time
I can stop thinking about funeral planning and more about how to get back into work

Amazing Ted,

Ive been thinking about you and I’m so glad you’ve got some good news!

That's such good news @Ted27, my mum had metastasized stage three bladder cancer and she was given a 5% chance of making it to 2 years. She had an amazing reaction to the chemo and radiotherapy finished it off and she died 15 years later from a totally unrelated illness (cervical cancer - get your smears done, ladies).

I am channelling my lovely mum and sending her vibes your way.
