Hi there and welcome ...

I know the word cancer is really scary to hear ... but there are loads of us breast cancer lasses on here ... l had a grade 3 breast cancer ... thought my number was up ... but came on here and a lovely lady jolomine held my hand and got me through .. l had a masectomy in July 2017 ... 

But I'm still here and doing well ... lots of other breast lasses joined in over the last 18 months, and wer all still here ... l know you hear so much of people who loose their fight, but there's lots of us kicking cancers butt ... yes it's not easy .. but if you can both admit your scared... share a few tears and then get your mum some boxing gloves and help her get in the ring to take it on ... wer all in that same ring ..

If your mum wants any advice or just someone to chat too .. she'll have a hand to hold here .. cancer wants you to cower and fall and give in ... well wer standing up to it ... looking it in the eye and matching it blow for blow ..  so the best advice I got from my daughter in law ... was ... no more panicking ... well take every problem as and when it comes up .. no more "what ifs" and well do it together ..

True to her word they were with me every step of the way ... even having a few laughs along the way .. so get those feelings out and help your mum take it on ... together ... Chrissie xx

Hi Tanni,

im so sorry to hear you have received this news.... I’ve learnt of the same with my mom just before Christmas and we are currently going through treatment. 

Its so difficult to process how to feel and how to deal with it. I’m afraid I can’t Offer any advice as I am still struggling myself but all we can do is take one day at a time. I’ve just thought to myself if I feel like crying I will, if I’m angry just feel it and try with every bit of me to be positive and thAts all I’ve been able to do. 

Sending love your way, and be sure to talk to anyone you feel you can xxxx
