Hello everyone

Thought it time to give you an update again

Well, im really pleased to tell you all, im feeling so much better, i feel as if i have turned a corner, and am on the upward straight.

Still get the odd day when the legs play up, and wont do as they are told, and are very painful, lol, but i am awaiting an app at the lymphadema clinic, so this should help with the symptoms. I know this might be a condition i suffer from now for the rest of my life, but if controlled and managed properly, i should be able to get on with life.

The Lymph fluid has all but stopped leaking now from the groins, which is wonderful, ( no more stoma or pads ) I have put on about half a stone in weight, and my appetite is really good, even the sweet tooth is back, yay.

I really am feeling " well " first time for a good while, i find i'm able to do more and more each day, and i'm back to being the " old Lynn " I smile a lot more, and am back to being the wee funny lass, i was before this.

Walking still is a bit of a problem, in as much as i cant walk too far, without struggling, but its getting better.

I know the anti deps have a hand in how im feeling, and i am still on the morphine to control the pain, but i'm grateful for having them, I will heal so much better and quicker if my mood is brighter.

I have an app next week with the oncologist, and i know he will be pleased to see such a big difference in me.

I have heard nothing about the scan i had about 4 weeks ago, so that's good news to me, as if there was any problem, i would have heard by now, so that's good too.

So all in all, i'm doing great. It's been such a dreadful time these last 7 months, i look back and wonder how i have coped, and more so, how my family and friends have too.

My lovely girls, and my darling Mark have been so loving, caring and supportive, i sometimes forgot how scared and frightened they were, and how hard it was on them. Mark has been my rock, considering we had only been seeing each other for little over 12 months, and he cared and loved me enough to give up home and job to be with me and take care of me, shows what sort of a man he is, " the very best ."

C at 16 has had to watch me go through all this, and has been a little diamond, not many girls like her about, and still she still got on and knuckled down at college and did brilliantly with her exams, the older girls too have been wonderful, i'm so lucky to have such brilliant family.

My little group of friends have been my truest friends ever, No matter what or when, they have been there, for whatever, and still are, without them i'd have struggled.

I love you all so much, as i said, i'm so lucky to have you all
and of course, all of you have helped a great deal, just knowing you care, and take the time to see how im doing, you're all amazing.

Onwards and upwards now friends, " Little Lynn, is back "

much love to you all
Lynn xxxxxxxx

I'm so pleased to read this update

Lots of strength & love to lynn for a continued speedy recovery xx

Lynne,
I am so pleased that you sound so much better. What a hard time you have had and what a fighter you are. I do admire you for how you have tackled this awful problem. Hopefully with the better weather and as you get better you will just go from strength to strength.

and you are right to be proud of your family, but you make them what they are, you reap what you sew.

anyway well done and please continue to update us occasionally.

Love
Ann

Great to have this news of you Lynn, and glad things are on the up, you had your girls and Mark to fight your corner and be your reason to fight back and now you can all begin to look ahead again and enjoy life.

I hope things continue to improve for you, and that the pain and discomfort get less by the day and your mobility improves daily too. Well done for your bravery, didn't expect anything less of you but your determination is admirable.
