I've not been here for a while due to a lot going on, but I'm glad to be back. My membership had run out, and that reminded me that it's well over a year now since my ostomy, and I had a look back on my journey. It's not been easy, but I do know that this site and you all out there have helped me loads, and I would like that to continue, so I've upgraded for life.

Every morning when I enjoy my big cup of coffee I scroll through this site and this warm feeling just overwhelms me.
I never post anything (too shy and it feels like I don’t have anything of interest to share tbh) but I sure read a lot of posts from you guys and they are so informative, supportive encouraging and so so full of love and a big dose of humor.
I feel like part of the best family in the world (even though I am just sitting quietly in the corner lol).
I just wanted to share that feeling and say thanks to all of you for being so wonderful.
And also, please keep some fingers crossed for me this week. I have my blood test on Thursday, checking my CA 125 levels. Ovarian cancer reoccurrence fear unlocked again. I hate it!
Lots of love from Sweden
