Just thought I need to update you all, I have a handful of friends here that know whats been going on with me, but now I am getting messages about whats going on and all that sort of thing, so, here goes.
I found out a year ago I had Cancer, well in two areas actually. The first thing was to go through all the bi-opsies and then a couple of ops on the one that needed to be sorted first obviously. Well, its been a hard ride I will confess, the Operation was brutal, no other words for it, but now I am seeing the light. I just spent five and a half weeks daily going to radiation therapy , fingers crossed in six weeks time we will know if its worked, but I did get to ring the bell yesterday. I have never met so many nice, dedicated nurses and doctors as they have at the Rosemere centre in Preston, a place I didn't want to have to travel to every single day, but I was blessed to find them all, never have I ever met folk that would do everything they can and then some.
My family have been wonderful too, driving me at all times of day and evenings too, but we got through it and its made me put things in perspective.
I tell you all this not for any kind of sympathy, to just say if you have to face anything like this, please don't fear, we get through it, we always do and if your as lucky as I have been you will come across some amazing people.
Now I have to get through the next six weeks, the tiredness is dreadful I must admit and the 'sunburn' is, well, very sore and in places you should never get burned, quite uncomfy too :))
I am trying to get round to creating something, but for all that I am missing crafting I can't get to it, lets hope I get round to it soon.
Next up is the Lung I have to see too, its stage one so I live in hope, just need to get my strength back first, but I feel I will be in good hands.
So, there you have it, I will try to keep this up to date for anyone who wishes to know. I must also thanks my friends Chris, Pinky, Carol and Chrissy, for the messages and gorgeous birthday cards, I feel its really important to have good friends who care don't you.
Right thats it then, my tale is told, sorry if its gone on abit, bless you all for caring.
Love and hugs,
Janette. xxxxxx

It all sounds very traumatic Jannete and such an awful ordeal for you to endure over what sounds like weeks on end. But so brave of you share what's been going on, maybe/hopefully putting it into writing may help in it's own way.
Will continue to think of you and hope that all clear comes soon.

Janette, your honesty and strength come through so clearly. You’ve been through an incredibly tough year, yet your resilience and hope shine in every line. Ringing the bell is such a powerful milestone, and it’s heartening to hear how deeply supported you’ve been. Your message about facing fear and finding good people along the way is truly uplifting. Wishing you steady healing, growing strength, and the creative energy you’re longing to get back to. Sending prayers and love your way.
There you are, my fantastic, brave, strong friend!! I wish I could have heard that bell ring!! Well done. You will come out the end of this with lots of stories and badges of courage for sure and I have no doubt you will beat this up and down the street. Keep that brilliant mind set and remember rest is a good word and you need plenty of it. Oh that sunburn sounds horrendous Janette but you've got this!! Sending mountains of hugs and get well wishes your way. xxx
Janette, I sure hate to hear that you have been going through so much. My husband also has cancer, he did chemo and chemo pills, and he is now doing good. The cancer can't even be detected. You sound very positive and that's the best thing that you can do. Continue to stay positive, I will be keeping you in my prayers. Hugs!!!

Oh, sweet Janette! I am so sorry to hear of your trials, but so happy you got to ring the bell. You are a true testimony that cancer cannot conquer the spirit. Sending you love and healing thoughts from afar. ❤️
Your update is incredibly moving, and your strength comes through so clearly. You have faced so much with honesty, courage, and a spirit that refuses to give in. Ringing the bell is such a powerful moment, and it is wonderful to hear how deeply supported you have been by your family and the amazing team at Rosemere. The way you share your experience will reassure so many others who might be walking a similar path. Wishing you steady healing, gentler days ahead, and the return of your creative energy when your body is ready for it. Sending love and prayers for strength in the days ahead.
Sending healing wishes and positive thoughts Janette. I don't know what ringing the bell is about but it sounds like a milestone reached. So glad you are surrounded by loving, helpful people. x CarolG
