I have recently been told after MRI and CT scans that I have a cyst that could possibly be borderline or malignant (although I hasten to add most likely not).
I have 3 sisters, lost one to cancer and another is in remission.
It makes you think!!
Although I and the doctors are convinced it is benign, I still have to have the cyst and my ovary removed no matter what and I am struggling with daily life at the moment due to the pain and discomfort. I cannot wait to have the surgery and be bouncing around like my old self again.
However I have had time to reflect on things being off work and with the 'possible' outcome and it has made me realise I am 40 next year and still have many things I want to do, but just either haven't had the money, time or motivation. I have been taking life for granted I guess.
I realised I would love to swim with dolphins, go on a cruise, go skiing again, learn to horse ride, to a skydive, visit Ireland to name just a few.
What in life would you really want to do? What is your wish list?

There are a lot of things I want to do. I want to travel around the world. I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to set up orphanages in under-developing or developing countries. I want to learn music production. These are just some of the things I want to do.

Hey ejfms39. Sorry to hear your diagnosis here. Surgery takes a toll on your body and you will need to take good care of yourself in order to give your body the time it needs to recover. Above all else, self motivation and encouragement is essential to keep up your daily routine and pace in life. There is many things I want to do which I have not done. I would love to try swimming, bungy jumping, jet skiing, sitting on an ostrich, camel, horse, extreme activities (as I'm afraid of both water and heights), etc. that can test my limits. For life, I would love to get married (only in love now), to buy a house, have kids, build a family, see to them growing up, going to school, attend prom party, be in love, have their own kids (I shall be a grandparent by then), complete my responsibility as a mother, finally to travel around the world with my beloved husband. For now, please stay strong and pull through the difficulties you are currently facing. I'm sure there is a whole lot more of hopes and dreams waiting for you!
