I'm in a total state of shock today. Have found out that my granddaughter of 3 1/2 has got a brain stem tumor which is inoperable and has been given possibly 9 months. She starts radiotherapy on Monday at Christies in Manchester. I am numb at the moment and can't think past tomorrow. My son is in bits and distraught. What the hell have we/she done to deserve this, especially after the last year. Sorry I'm rambling now, I know I am but I just can't get my head around this. I just want to scream and shout!!!!
oh bless u darling ...im so sorry ...life just doesn't seem fair sometimes .how horrible this news is ..please god she and all of u will cope as best u can .dont worry about ranting ,we understand and id be just like u ...i will keep u in my prayers ....im just so sorry .xxx
Oh God, Patricia - I'm so sorry to hear your news. I can't begin to imagine how you must all be feeling.
We've shared our own little journey together in this cyberworld...I've never met you, but please know that I am thinking and praying for you and your family.
Thanks for that. I thought being told 14 months ago that I had breast cancer would be bad enough but today has to have been THE worst day of my life so far. Watching my granddaughter playing, oblivious to what is happening and seeing my son and my granddaughters mum fall to pieces. If I could turn back that damd clock!!!! My son and I have spent the evening telling close family. On top of this I neglected to mention my dad was taken into hospital two weeks ago and at the time it looked like he wouldn't be coming home. My head is spinning! I just felt I needed to talk to some friendly faces.

You must be devasted, as must be your son and his wife
The only advice I can offer is... love her a little more each day.... make the most of every second with her..... and take hundreds of photo's and make amazing memories..... You never know what miracle is around the corner.
We are all here for you honey... when ever you need us
I am so so pleased for you - I haven't stopped thinking of you since you said you found another lump. I hope you continue to get better and better!!!!!!
Caroline- I think the thing you were called in for is the same as the thing that I've got to have looked at this week. I had my first mammogram since treatment finished and I've been called in for them to have a more detailed scan. The mammogram showed what they described as 'grains of salt,' which could be as a result of surgery/radiotherapy - it's basically calcification of dead cells...at least that's what I'm hoping it is as they may take a core biopsy just to be sure. The roller coaster you describe is never ending ay!
It was so strange... I always said at the begining of all this, (when I was first diagnosed) that it's the not knowing that is the worst..... but I was wrong... I was so much more worried when I went with this last lump, as I knew what to expect.... Scared me to death
It's still pretty odd having these lumps in my chest and doing nothing about them.... but I guess I will get used to them.
I don't know if it will affect my reconstruction or not... I will ask the surgeon when I go back in 3 weeks.
Chassis... I'm so sorry you have joined us.... but welcome to the family honey
When I first got diagnosed everything snowballed, what started out with me being booked in for a lumpectomy on my right breast, ended up with me having a double mastectomy........ I thought my world was ending... but the people on here were brilliant... When I thought I had come to the end of my tether, they talked to me.... when I thought that i couldn't go on.... they helped me...... and when I started to crumble... they lifted me back up.
Without the wonderful people on this site... I wouldn't be the woman I am today
You are now part of that family..... on here you can talk about anything.... stuff you cant talk to you family about (no matter how brilliant they are) and we will all help you..... and you in turn will help other people
Nobody has to cope with anything alone
Lou... I have added you on facebook.... didn't realise that you're only 10 minutes up the road from me
If anybody else wants to add me on facebook... Caroline Stevens.... the profile picture is the same as on here
Shent's... You will have to let me know how you get on as I will have to have the core biopsy next time if they are still there
