Re: Up at 5 am on my 5 year cancerversary

Congratulations Laurie. I too will be 5 years out on 13th September. I have just received an all clear PET CT scan.... and my family & I will be in Disneyworld, Florida for all my cancerversary dates and on the 13th Sept we will be swimming with dolphins at Discovery Cove - giving the V's to cancer.... one of the advantages cancer has given me is too appreciate the very smallest things as a mother.. seeing the world through their eyes, a lie in with cuddles, sharing a book, the school play.. too many to mention.. Enjoy & congratulations to you xx
