Hi, my name is Rose and I've just finished treatment for breast cancer ( mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy ). Just starting to find my new normal, whatever that is. Still feel part of this community though, don't know when that will stop!
Hiya Rose and welcome x I don't think it's a community you will ever leave, where ever you are on your journey. I find it wonderful here as there are people going through it, gone through it and people like myself as a wife going through it with my husband. I feel so much better knowing I'm not in a lonely place but within a caring place where the information has been priceless. I also love it because I can ask questions, which in real life I would be embarressed to ask.
Hi rose I hope you are OK,I don't know what to say really ,I only joined this site yesturday..I don't have cancer but my dad has chronic lymphocylic leukemia...he doesn't have much more time with us left.I joined this site hoping to find then strength to get through this both now and after ,my dadvis my best friend he's been my inspiration through out my life and I'm finding it so hard to cope knowing whatbwe are about to face .....people on this site are so friendly and really do care ..alsorts of advise ,and helpfull and passionate words to get you through each day...already I feel I've friends I can talk too its an amazing place to be on here ,is what I think I'm trying to say .
Thanks Petek, I'm feeling ok just trying to get back into being active and in control of my own life. I was in your situation 5 years ago when I lost my lovely dad to prostate cancer. It is a horrible time but the only blessing was that we knew that we had to say all those things normally left unspoken and , when my dad left us, I felt that I knew him more and loved him more than ever. I hope that you keep your strength at this difficult time x
Thankyou and I'm glad you are feeling OK today ,you are right I have learnt things about my dad I would of never ever know or been told about.... Its strange how sometimes things are never said or spoken about ....we have laughed ,talked n cried about things in the past that was left unsaid but it has brought us even closer than I could ever imagine...
