:D Hi  My name is Kerry and wanted to  reply as i am newbie to and a newbie to cancer i have  inoperable womb  cancer and  on chemo my 3rd cycle is tomorrow and CT scan in Nov . I am a single mum of a teen and look after her as she has Aspergers and i look after my mum who s 75 and suffers depression  yet i am a happy bunny...with no hair  now lol  I am 52.I hope  your coping ok and just take each day as it comes try to stay positive and i  do natural rememdies  to fight it  xx Hugs

So pleased to meet you Kerry and thank you for your reply.  You sound like you have so much to do as well as looking after yourself but I think, in a way that could help your depression.  I had battled with anxiety and depression for many years and when I was first diagnosed with the cancer, surprisingly I was more frightened of my depression returning.  I have kept as busy as I can and worked throughout my treatment and apart from the occasional day of tears, I have coped pretty well.  People often say I don't know where you get your strength from but I think that when something like this happens, you just seem to find a strength you didn't know you had.  Massive hugs to you Kerry xx

Aww JaneAlison  thankyou  so much   your wonderful words and it seems   we have some things in common and lifes not easy is it however when you get told you have cancer its like being in a slow train crash and its how we handle it that counts. Ive read some rage agaisnt the world and  when i found out i had cancer last summer i thought so how am i going to deal with this and i decided to  do what the dr said along with natural remendies like carrot juice,B17 with pineapple and black seed oil. Funny thing is how i seem to be happy these days even with cancer but i cherish every day and l just plan ahead a few months at a time  .Its  a battle we need to be in full armour and as Churchill once said ..we will never surrender.I know some days are hard and  we must never give up ,I dont know if you belong to a church but prayers help. I try and look on the funny side of things and when i see my Oncologist i never want a time scale as i thhink thats not helpful to our fight and who are they to tell us when our time is up....no .....its our job to fight on.If you give up  i really think thats a downward spiralI  wish you a good night and im always here for you xxxx

Hi Jane, I am also new to all this, I was also diagnosed with Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma on 28th September, I'm E-cadherin and HER positive.  I have two lumps and have to have a mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy which is on Wednesday.  I have to say I cannot believe how strong I have felt up to now, don't get me wrong I have my sad moments but most of the time I've stayed upbeat.  I also found out that my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last week which made me feel pretty numb!  life is very cruel sometimes and we wonder what it's all about and what have we done to deserve this but we have to try and stay positive and fight this together.

Keep us posted and take care xxx

I'm new to this but I had breast cancer 17 years ago and I'm still here! I was diagnosed and treated at Salisbury District Hospital and could not have been in a better place. I had 6 chemo treatments and 4 weeks of radiotherapy after a lumpectomy. I was part of a medical trial and glad i was chosen for the trial. I was 40 at the time i was diagnosed and had 2 teenage children - what a nightmare! I'm sure my determination to recover had a huge part in my beating this and i was lucky to have great support from family, friends and a fantastic MacMillan nurse. I'm happy to talk to any other woman (or man) who finds themselves in this position as i was lucky enough to have people 'there' for me. Fight the fight with all your might !! Positivity is hard to maintain but believe me, it works! Message me anytime  - I'm always available ! I have met some beilliant people along the way - some still here, some sadly not. Overall I treat this as a positive experience. I have no time for trivia anymore, my life has changed for the better !! Kick cancer's ***!!!!
