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.
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 know Nina, she really didnt complain at all, such a fighter. Lisa, Im also doing the race for life in glasgiw 5th June, hopefully one day this horribloe disease will be curable with a little tablet like a paracetamol, god im in so much shock x
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.
That's brill Colly. You training hard? I thought the walking would be a breeze but its absolutely knackering! Its so important that the funds keep pouring in for more research - there are too many of my friends going through this (at home and on here) - Hearing about Lou tonight makes me incredibly sad. She sounded like such a brave and unselfish person.
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
What terrible news.Lou was one of my first contacts here and a lovely person.The world has lost one of the good on.esWould it be OK if I let them know on the other forum that she introduced me to ?
We were so sad to hear that Loumack lost her fight against breast cancer over the weekend.
Everyone at Cancer Chat send sends their condolences to Louises's family and friends and our thoughts are with her fiance Nigel and her lovely children.
