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
Welcome to the place no-one wants to be.Hope you are coping with the mastectomy and glad to see you have support at home.I had mastectomy 4 years ago and have recurrance in the lymph glands in my neck and chest .I have been on chemo for 2 years to contain it and like you have 2 grown up children and 3 grandchildren ,so plenty of reasons to fight on.Hope you have a good medical team looking after you.What part of the world do you live in?We are a well scattered lot on here.
I am sorry to hear people are having such a bad time.I cant imagine what rads on the brain are like so this may be a useless suggestion but i have planned my wedding at a resterant in the morning because i throught even if they had to wheel me in i could still go and while i may not be able to give my guests a party they could have lovely food.I have found it useful to have someting to work towards.I hope she gets her wedding.
though dont think you are grumpy. i like you! grumpy is mardy. thanks for your thoughts, am sure she will have her wedding. shes in hospital at mo but dont know anymore. when is your wedding? would like to throw some webfetti.
i cant believe you are still not well. missing you n am really concerned. these are days when i wish i had your phone number so i could at least ask your husband how you are. i keep checking on cancer chat n your name doesnt come up. please know i am thinking of you n often! sending lots of love n hugs n cant wait to see your name appear again. worried about our lovely lady.

awful news. loumack has lost her battle with this horrible disease. it beat her n she leaves behind 4 gorgeous children n fiance she never got to marry.
special lady R.I.P. the friend i never met, but you will always be in my heart.
Leonie, just read your post, im devastated, like you I had been speaking to Louise lots on Facebook, I didnt honestly realise just how bad she was, sorry i dont know what to say, im blinded by my own tears. She was such an inspiration, telling me about her photo album and video she was making for her kids, speak to you soon x God rest her soul and God bless her family and fiance x
Thank you Leonie for telling us about Lou. I also never realised just how poorly she must have been. Its heartbreaking to think of her fiance and her four children. I'm doing the Moonwalk in London in May. I think Caroline said she was doing the Race for Life this year too. This news makes me all the more determined now to get out there and do the training, as one of these days the money we all raise from these events will help some clever person find a cure for this awful disease.

i too am doing race for life. mines july but am walking it. lost our first friend n am heart broken. lets raise as much as we can so others can fight back n win this battle.
Was devastated when I saw the news earlier on facebook. Lovely lady and like the rest of you never realise she was that ill. My heart goes out to her family. I thought I would also share the poem I posted
A Better PlaceShe¿s in a better place right now ...Than she¿s ever been before; All pain is gone; she¿s now at rest; Nothing troubles her anymore.It¿s we who feel the burden of Our sadness and our grief;. We have to cry, to mourn our loss, Before we get relief.We know we¿ll reconnect with her At the end of each life¿s road; We¿ll see her cherished face again When we release our earthly load.By Joanna Fuchs
