Hi. It looks like this discussion thread has been going a long time and i hope i will be able to join the community here. I was diagnosed with breast cancer just after xmas and have had a mastectomy last week. I have a secondary tumor in my hip and possibly in my head so will have to face chemo and radiotherapy although I dont know the details as yet. I would love to make friends on here who i can both support and find support from on this journey. I have 2 grown up children and they have surprised me recently as to how supportive they can be. It certainly is a case of role reversal in my house. Chassis x x

hi chassis

nice to meet you n hope we can all help you through this horrible time. this thread has amazed me how its taken off, so glad i wrote that 1st message. its also quite amazing how to just talk n listen to others helps so many people. it really has turned into a cyber family. i hope you get the same feeling n we can help you to be that little bit less afraid of whats to come.

I for one am so glad you started this post..... It helped me so much

I think its all about people fighting the common enemy.... in this case Breast cancer

You're right.. we are a family... and we will always help each other with what is to  come.

Like I said on the post above... Nobody has to cope with anything alone

so thank you for starting this amazing (and long) post

Love always

hi caz

was the best thing i did during my illness.

so glad you had good news for a change. you so deserve it hun. you sound happier, are you coping with the break up? i hope you are finding things easier now.

lots of love leonie xxxxx

I was struggling with the break up for quite a while... but this latest scare made me rethink things

If two different types of breast cancer at the same time can't keep me down...... well no cheating man is going to either.

there is a song out in the charts, my daughter told me about it.... I play it at least 5 times a day and it helps me

It's by Jessie James.... and it's called "I look so good (without you)"

It's brilliant

I have even gone and had a lovely choppy haircut and coloured my hair red

The confidence on the outside will soon lead to confidence on the inside

But I refuse to be a victim any more

Like my picture says..... You're looking at a survivor

Love always
