Has it spread

Am waiting for pathology results after having masectomy. Really worried in case it has or will spread. Or worse still its terminal. Am trying to be strong my daughter's 28 weeks pregnant with second baby. Do I tell the truth if its terminal or keep it to myself?.

  • Now Annie please stop being negative!  You have a new gdandchild only 12 weeks away so please have only positive thoughts.  Last year after my hysterectomy for endometrial cancer my daughter gave birth to a stillborn daughter.  We all had to pick ourselves up and struggle through.  This year she became pregnant again and 5 weeks ago gave birth to a beautiful little boy.  In the meantime I was told my cancer was incurable and was given 1 - 1 1/2 years from last January.  I didnt tell my daughter because she didnt need the joy of having her new baby marred by my bad news.  She knows now, but I am very matter of fact about it and its helped us get on with our lives normally.

    May I wish you all the very best with your results.  Please let us know how you get on.

  • Hi, Pauline,  

    Wise words to Annie!  

    How did you get on at new hospital on Wednesday? Hope very much that they came up with something to help you.

  • Hello Annie, 

    Please listen to Pauline, and don't panic just yet.  I know how hard it is, waiting for results, but the news may just be better than you think.  

    Stay strong and look forward to a lovely new grandchild!
