Its the second full day after my diagnosis. I am definitely still in denial - how could it happen to me? I am only 56 and reasonably fit - I did the local 10k run in a few seconds over the hour just 3 months ago.
Everyone (well I don't know many people really) says it is important to have a positive attitude. I have got a half marathon in October in my sights but tried a training run today only to run out of energy quickly.
Its work tomorrow and many people know already - I wonder how they will react to me? I have decided to carry on normally. I have a dentists appointment tomorrow. It will be good to get this out of the way before treatment starts apparently.
I read up about chemotherapy yesterday. It looks like it might make me quite ill.
I am having contact with my estranged children. My eldest is interested from a professional view as she is at University training to be a doctor. One son says he had bought me a present - this will be the first time for 10years. The youngest son has not responded yet. It would be good to see them before I go under the knife and lose my hair but I doubt it will happen. I have not seen them since 27th June 2005 and they are less than a half hour drive away. Stranger things have happened I suppose.
