Hiding from my 14 year old son who dosnt live with me I have this as don't want to scare him . Come on this website and found statistics  to survival which I'm probably over reacting but made me feel wow that's not good .. I duno currently in hospital as chemo as give me or started off angina doing more tests hopefully it's just a side affect , I'm trying to stay positive but feels like I'm in someone else's life how quick this has all happened  i know there's always s smeone in a worse situation x just wana wish you all the best and hope we can all get through this ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️️

  • Hi Priceyone75.,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now but I wanted to send a reply to welcome you to the forum and to hopefully encourage a few more people to see your post and maybe send a reply.

    I can understand you wanting to protect your son - hopefully you can talk things through with him as soon as you are ready.

    I hope that this forum can be of some support to you. We are always here whenever you need it, even if it's just to write things down, and it's a very supportive community of people.
