Hi Maureensalsa,

I notice that this is your first post to the forum, so welcome to Cancer Chat.

I am so sorry to hear about your brain tumour. Did the surgeon manage to get all of the tumour out or is there a little left? I am not at all surprized that you feel a bit low. This is a life-changing diagnosis and it is a scary time and three months is no length of time to come to terms with all this.

Can I ask what age you are? I lost a very dear colleague to a brain tumour 3 years ago. He was only 23 and you couldn't meet a nicer person.

I hope that you have good support from family and friends,as this is much needed with a diagnosis like this.

I have had 2 bouts of primary breast cancer. The first occurred  7 years ago and the second a year later.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on. There is always someone here whenever you feel like talking.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi there ... just want to send you big hug ... l know life is continually changing and we find ourself at a crossroads in life ... I've had mastectomy 5weeks ago ... so I'm there too but I choose the road that says cancer won't change who I am , I won't let it ... I'll keep my sense of humour no mater what .. when I put my first falsi on , it slipped a little and I said to the patent in the next bed and her husband "what do you think of them then"  her husband said "you'll have to change your name to one hung low ".  We all couldn't stop laughing .. it made me smile the rest of the day  

I watched a children's cancer prog on t.v before I went in and they were the most wonderful brave kids who were still smiling and that's what keeps me from feeling sorry for me ... 

a saying I read while waiting for my op was 'it's not waiting for the storm to pass , it's about learning to dance in the rain'  so hope you can take a day at a time and one problem at a time .. and slowly I hope you get there ... I'm thinking of you
