Hi there :)

Hello there,
My name is Ana and i'm 29. Rectal Cancer discovered after the Hemorrhoids that haunted me after the birth of my daughter just wouldn't get any better.
The rest you can read from my signature. I've told my story to 20 different people by now and don't have the energy to write extensively about it. That said, this Signature thing is a pretty damn good idea.
Just wanted to say hi to anyone out there who is battling the same war as we. After a very positive reaction to my diagnosis (at first I thought I was going to die within a couple of months and now i'm hoping that my Freddy - that's my unwanted guests name - behaves and I can at least stay with my daughter until we can have a decent intelectual conversation, to teach her how to be happy with the little details of life), i'm starting to get a little under the weather with my intensive life situation, loneliness and with the wonders that radiation is doing with my button at the moment.
I know that Cancer sucks. I'm a Nurse and worked in Oncology and Palliative Care for 4 years. I have an idea about what's coming at us - alltough I guess until you experience it yourself, you never really know. If I'm alive when my daughter reaches adulthood I will die gladly then so happy! But until then.. With Cancer or without it - I need to stay in this world until she can fend for herself.
I'm here looking for positive people in similar situations who can share ideas and recommendations about treatments and off label medications. Young people with positive attitude to exchange ideas and sarcastic humor would be a refreshing deal of help
And please, I know it sounds arrogant - but don't tell me you're sorry. That's the main reason I still haven't been able to talk to most of my relatives (have to rethink it maybe after the genetic testing). Shits happens and it's OK. I need to move on from feeling sorry to other proactive things.
That said..
Thank you for listening and for all your refreshing thoughts (Ps: since I've learned German my English is upside down.. so I'm sorry if I'm making up new words as I go )
