hi im 36 mother of 3 n diagnosed dec 23. ive had 2 ops n 5 of 6 chemo n finding it very hard at mo. feel so peed off n cant get rid of that feeling. would love to chat. x
Hi Sara, You are a wee cracker, Loved reading your post, brought a tear to my eyes...I get everything you said and more, I went for recon three years ago, i waited 6 weeks for that op,looking back now i can see i did the right thing for my phyical appearance,but on hindsight that wait almost cost me my life,but i agree we are all beautiful, the boobs and balls matter not a jot, its the person with in us thats shines...You are an inspiration..I went on Friday for my Third Tattoo on my new Nipple, my doc asked me if i wanted my Blue radiotherapy dot removed, I was all up for it until she appeared from behind the curtain with a rather large needle to freeze the area, well i was up off that bed and dressed in a shot, i told her i wanted to hold on to my battle scars...well that was my excuse and im sticking to it....lol...Keep up the Beautiful words...xx
I woke up this morning, scared to death.... only because a double mastectomy is such a huge operation (to me)
Your words have helped me no end..... they made me understand, that this operation is going to make me better (even though I don't feel poorly) If I don't have the operation, I will die.
Your words made me see the difference between being a cancer victim and a cancer sufferer.
Your words have given me courage to go for my operation tomorrow..... without that crippling fear.
You made me see that it's ok to be scared.... Normal even
thank you for being brave enough to share your pain and depair..... bacause you have helped me to cope.
Thank you to everybody else for such wonderful support, without all of you, I wouldn't have even got this far
Tony, I like the idea of meeting up for a party... give me a little while to recover first though.
Thoughts and love you way for tomorrow. You will do extraordinary things! A friend of ours under went a double mastectomy. Earlier this year we cheered her round the London marathon. You may not do that but watch this space. With the support form this and other communities you will be up and running (So to speak) before you know it. Tomorrow is the start of a positive future. Times to look forward to. For a drop of inspiration pop along to my friend Hayley's website. Strong? This woman could stop a tank with her determination! www.myladyhumps.co.uk
I have read through most of your posts and you come across as a very brave,kind wonderful person. With all of your troubles you still have time for others. Looking back at mine I come across as a very self centred person most of the time feeling sorry for myself. I am striving to be more like you, and a lot of the others - you all seem to get on soo well. I will be thinking of you tomorrow especially when I am having my 4th Chemo. It is also my 62nd birthday so I will be celebrating your determination to overcome eveything that has been thrown at you with the sure feeling that you will indeed beat this 'thing'
been keeping up to date with your care thinking of you and sending all positivity your way. the journey begins for real !!you really are fab lady xxx
on a practical note i was advised to take arnica and propolis (from holland and barrett) dnot know if it was that but i heaked really quick and the bruising wen tdown quickly just a thought xx
I will keep looking out for how you doing sweetie
I have my first chemo monday 2oth take my big girl up to uni in liverpool day before,
wishing you lots of luck love n best wishes for tomorrow. like everyone else, i will be thinking of you n hoping you will recover quickly. just remember, tomorrow night you will be cancer free. it will be all gone n i know you'll get through it.
All the luck in the world for tomorrow,the first day of your cancer free future.You must be sooooooooooooo nervous now but we are all here holding your hand.
