Hi Eva, I am using a tablet to type this so I hope I don't make too many typos!
I came across this site by accident really and read your story. I known that you wrote it at the and of last year but I really wanted tks give you some positive encouragement.
I was diagnosed in may 2005, two days after my 44th birthday, like everybody else I was devistated! I am now four months away from being 7 years in remission and leading a very normal and busy life. I have two young boys 11 & 13 and was working 3 days a week until I was made redundant. I have returned to college as a mature student doing a business course.
Obviously, I don't forget about mm but it doesn't consume my thoughts, if anything it reminds me to lead a healthy lifestyle. That doesn't mean that I don't drink & eat the wrong things but I do make an effort to eat a normal healthy diet fir me and the boys.
After I was diagnosed & had the stem cell transplant I started reading books by people who had cancer and the changes they had made to their life. They all had a common thread …. eat fresh produce, no processed foods & eat organic as much as possible. Oh I nearly forgot, drink plenty of water. Many books recommend juicing, which I have been ddoing for years, it is best best way to state the day.
I have never felt healthier and enjoy cooking (something that I had no interest in before). Because I look after myself better now I am also looking after the boys better.
I hope this gives you plenty of encouragement and if you have any questions I would live to answer them.
Ann
