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 i had breast cancer 8 years ago that feeling will go away. i now a lot off my frends i went with we all went throgh the same thing. just keep sileing xx
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.
What terrible terrible news,as the others say all you can all do is take one day at a time.thank god the little one is oblivious for now. please please remember we are all here for u always,as u know u can always message me on face book and if u want to email or anything/any time .As the others say we have never met but we have all been thru so much together.
our thoughts and prayers r with u love and big hugs xxxxxxxnina xxxx
What a sledgehammer to take in.She is the same age as my grandson and I am sitting here in tears just thinking of it.I pray the radio will zap it and further treatment will work.So much luck to you all,we are here for you when you need us.
Hi Patricia I have just come on totalk about the week I'v had but its nothing compared to what yoiu must be going through at the moment. All I can offer you is my thoughts and prayers and like everyone try to take one day at a time and lookafter yourself as much as you can because knowing the sort of person you seem to be you will want to be there for your family. Much love and abig hug sent to you.
Keep us up to date if you can but in the meantime you know we are here
Happy birthday for tomorrow,make it a good one !!!!
I think creams are ok,waxing may be a bit iffy because it could leave the area sore and open to infection which is why you shouldnt shave in case you nick the skin and the infection could set up lymphodema.Electric razors are Ok though.
i cant believe it. it is such awful news. its the worst when a child has this horrible disease. i really dont know what to say to you. wish so much i could help you. i replied to you just the other day n thought i'd check. wasnt expecting anything like this. my thoughts are with you n your family. sending you lots of love n strength n hope radio does its best for her. good luck for next week xxxxxxxx
Hi Rose it isnt my birthday, ive got a few years left before im 50 lol. I'll try the hair removal, dont like the feeling of electric razor, its weird. Hope everyone is well, caz how did you get on at hospital? Patricia Ive sent you a private message on facebook, thinking of you xx
Sorry,read your post wrongly.I blame the chemo.Silly if I would have thought about it as you dont look a day over 30 !!!!!Enjoy yourself whoevers birthday it is
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
