Just starting life with cancer

Hi, just found out I have lymphoma cancer ? Wasn't expecting that , I've got my pet scan on Monday, then hopefully know what we are dealing with before the end of the month.

I am a bit anxious at the moment.

My friends , family, husband and work colleagues have been fabulous .

But it's hard to share things with them sometimes.

I am strong and determined person , so hopefully will get over this soon ♥

  • Hi there ... welcome to our little chat room ... it’s a great place where you can just say how you feel and we’ve been there and all those feelings you have or will have are normal ... we go through most of them but having people on here is so helpful... it does help to feel a bit positive and ready to jump on this rollercoaster ride of ours ... be ready for ups and downs ... and lots of waiting for tests , results etc ... 

    im 3 months post mastectomy.... and still standing ... being strong does help but a good swear and a few tears can help at times to ... sending you caring vibes ... we’re braver then we think ... Chrisie ️ Xx

  • Thank you for your kind words x

  • Hi Beejp,

    Welcome to the forum.

    Good luck for tomorrow's scan! 

    It doesn't matter how strong and determined we are, this cancer journey is a roller coaster of emotions for all of us. We can go from euphoria to depression or from resolute to despairing within a few hours.

    This is a safe and anonymous place to be honest about your feelings and to ask for information and opinions.

    Best wishes

    Dave
