To feel like I've just come out of a coma?

[AutumnSummers]

Not an AIBU really but fook it.

I've known for 4 months that I have a tumour growing off of my partoid gland. Today I found out that the biopsy sample that was taken last week is benign!!! They can't be 100% sure until the whole thing is removed but it looks good!

I feel like I've just come out of a coma. There is so much I want to do. All that waiting left me in limbo for so long with life still going by and me being unable to make choices I need to make because I couldn't be sure that I would be OK to see them through.

They still have to remove it for fear that it will grow even larger than its current 5cm and eventually become cancerous. There is a change of facial nerve paralysis with the removal but I'll take it!

I'm back in the game. Time to play :)

Oh, I'm so happy for you! Really, really pleased, I hope we get and you enjoy the autumn sun :) :) :)

That is really great news and must be a huge relief too. :)

Waiting for results is so horrible.

I am so pleased for you Autumn - it must be an immense relief. Take a deep breath, a glass of wine, and dance around the kitchen stark naked - you deserve it.

Wonderful news. you'll be wanting some of this while you dance naked then?

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!

That's great, Autumn...what an incredible relief that must be . What are your plans?

That's fantastic!!!!

What will you do first???

I remember this exact feeling. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with cervical cancer and had a successful operation to remove the tumour and my lymph nodes (which weren't affected). Like you, ever since I have made a conscious effort to really 'live' my life - not just let the days slip by. As a result I changed jobs, had IVF and had my first DC. My second DC (a natural surprise) arrived last week. I also can't get riled anymore about insignificant stuff. My first thought is... Well, it's not a life or death situation...

Congratulations on your diagnosis - I hope your surgery goes well!

Great news. Really pleased for you.

That's great news!

Great news!

Oh wow that's great news. It's understandable to feel like that, it's like you have been 'paused' for 4 months and someone has pressed the play button again.

Marvellous news!

Good luck and speedy recovery wishes winging their way from me to you from sunny Birmingham!

Wooo hoo! FAB news!

Thanks all. I've been away celebrating all weekend. Big plans now!!!

That's brilliant. Get yourself back out into the world and go mental :o

Brilliant news, congratulations. :)
