Almost 4 years with no issues but tonight it's back.

My ovarian cancer has returned.
I'm just a bit frustrated,tired of putting on a calm brave front for everyone else. I just needed to say it.

of uterine cancer and I know how you must feel. When you get back on treatment, I wish you all the luck in the world and I will be keeping you in my thoughts.
Take care and don't think you have to be calm or brave at all. Fuck cancer! Rage, cry, whatever helps you vent your fear and frustration, and then do your best to beat this!

You've got to be pissed and scared. You should be able to vent those flings instead of denying them. Scream and stomp. Do what makes you feel better.

But squeeze the Day. Scoop up all the Love you can. I'm sending mine. I like to think it's currency in our next iteration, whatever it is. But, in this Life it is for certain, and may well be a tonic to marshal your Spirit to meet the future and prevail once again.
We're all here for you.

Cancer is a nefarious bastard. My partner has prostate cancer and we are only just at the beginning of his journey. I wish you the very best.
