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
of course you should be here on this page, what would we do without you? I've had a lovely weekend, thankfully up here in Scotland we've had shunshine this weekend, which makes a change, so been outdoors all weekend, gardening, bbq and went to the park for a game of baseball. Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, I've not been on here so much recently, I feel bad about that as I was never off this site when I was going through my chemo and there was always somebody on to give me good advice and now we have some new women on here who need my advice and Ive neglected them, so if anyone needs any advice, I'll def try and help if I can.
Sara, glad you had a lovely weekend with your family, hope the rest of you gals are doing well.
I read your posts and many many times wanted to replay and finaly here I am. I've posted before but I think this is the right place for me. There are couple of people who responded to my post and for the rest I would like to intro. myself. 37 ,Mum of two boys 8 and 5 and very suportive hubby. Been told just over a week ago that I have Breast C
Reading your posts has helped a lot but God am so scared. I have my pre op *** tomorrow and on Tuesday meeting the surgeon and the Thursday is the op day.
I'm sorry Im not writing much anymore. I feel awful but I just don't seem to know what to say anymore. I always look at what has been written. Losing Lou was really hard for me. Now we've lost Rose I just can't get over it. The nicest lady n she's gone! I know the best thing to do is to keep on helping others n I will make sure this page lives on I promise. I will sort myself out. Lifes just so bloody unfair!!
Good luck tomorrow maki. N thursday for your op. I do think about you all n send you lots of love.
Hi Maki, sorry youve joined our forum under these circumstances, it just isn't fair, glad you have a supportive partner, as you're gonna need as much support as you can get, and we're here too to answer any questions you have, hopefully you'll get through this treatment without any hitches, I personally was fine, just tired, the worst thing for me was the hair loss, which is so vain but true, now my hair is as thick as anything, good luck with the op.
Leonie we all know how close you were to Lou and its understandable that youve not been posting for a while, losing Rose has been awful for all as girls, but the new girlos need the upbeat and lovely leonie, speak soon babe xxx
Hi everyone, firstly may I apologise for my outburst,the other day, It just seemed so unfair and indeed still does, but reading all your posts reminds me that this would not be what Rose would have wanted, we have new people here that need our help and Im siting around feelin sorry for myself, so once again I do apologise and to you Maki a very warm welcome, this is a scary time and noone will blame you for having your fears, but.....
I myself finished my chemo in October 2010 and was back in work full time in January, never a day goes by that I dont thank the lord that I am still here with my sanity still intact, which incidently is largely due to these wonderful ladies and gents on here the truth is Maki there are many thousands of men and women that survive cancer every day thanks to the advancement in medicine, whatever your concerns dont hesitate to talk to us and you will get good sound advice and support whenever you need it, day or night.
Stop now we dnot need to keep apologising for times when we feel a bit sorry for ourselves. we have been thru so much together!
we have helped each other thru all our treatment and then we had the terrible loss of Lou and Rose which has set us all back because we were such a team .
But we have beaten this at least for now !!so we need to live to the full and we need to carry on what Lou and Rose did and help support others like they did us xxx
You r all amoung the most fab people I have ever met (even if only online ) you helped me so so much please dnot hurt anymore we r all here for each other always xxx
big fat massive love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Maki big positive vibes coming your way xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for your kind words and support-God do I need it.
When I was told I got bc the first thing I thought was I can't leave my kiddies. Next morning I was numb. Looking on the Internet for more info I just got more scared, I am glade I joined this site, I had few replays and I must say they make me feel positive and reading the posts helps a lot.
Now I would like to say a few words about me- I am sorry if I am disturbing or being boring but I thought we will be here for a while so I may as well properly introduce myself.
Originally I am from Macedonia, been married to my lovely hubby Jason for 10 years, been in UK for more then 14 y.
I live in Leicestershire near Market Harborough *if anyone is close I would love to meet for a drink*
My family are back home in Macedonia. Here I got my hubby, my two boys and my father in law. I haven't told my family that I have c because my mum is not very well and I know that this would kill her. So here I am, screaming wanting to tell them but I can't. I speak to them at least three times a week and trying to sound like old me -happy and when i put the phone down I can't stop crying.
Today I had my pre ***. Tomorrow I will meet the surgeon and on Thursday I hope this s**t will be taken out.
Once again thank you to all who took time to read and replay and sorry If I bothered you with my long post and bad spelling '-))
I wish you all a very good day and no doubt I will be login in latter on again.
Thank you for telling us a bit about yourself, its lovely to know .
iam 47 diagnosed last july had surgery, chemo then radio now on tamoxifen doin ok , LIfe never completely returns to the old way but new normal can be even better that old normal . When you think what u been thru sometimes u cant believe it !!As u say we r all doing this for same reasons to b around for our kiddies and family . You can do this u really can . after thursday it will b cut out and that is big moment then u can concentrate on keeping it that way !!unfortunately I live on the south coast too far for a drink but few of us keep on touch via facebook if you want to add me (nina diplock) please come here often, sorry u got us when we r all greiving losses, but we know how lucky we r !!!
I dnot want to interfere but think about telling your family pretence is hard, but also you r a mum, how would u feel if they kept something this big from you ??they will b very upset but they can share your pain/sadness. Maybe after surgery (and hopefully if no nodes or thay removed you can give them that postive news and that you now working on beating this cr*p !! obviously you know them best
