Thanks Dizzle.

Glad your date night went well. 

Sundial

Sundial - very sorry to hear of your dog. Very sad.

Bananabrain - welcome. It's very natural to cry til the cows come home. I still do it 21 months post treatment. But just remember we are all here and tell the tale so you will get thru this with loads of ups and downs. Main thing is you're on the radar and being treated.

Well done to all those getting thus far with treatment. You got this.

I have been very down in the dumps but it's all that's surrounding me and has just exhausting me mentally. Either that or it's menopause symptoms to the max. I've been in bed by 8:30pm almost every night since i returned 2 weeks ago. 

The not knowing part is scary and sends our thoughts to some not nice places but these tests take time and best the medical teams are thorough so you don't suffer unduly. Cancer is a real bas****. But we have to deal with whatever curveballs are thrown our way. If we weren't strong women then this wouldn't have come in our paths. So you sexy mamas - live, love and laugh each day as best you can.

Hi Bananabrain welcome to the most supportive thread on here. I am sorry you have just been diagnosed. It is indeed a scarey time. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end November. I found the first few weeks the worst waiting for scan results. I tried to keep busy living one day at a time and sometimes an hour at a time. 

I kept faith in that there are so many advances in breast cancer treatment and the cure rate is very high. Come back here when you are down there are so many wonderful people here.

Sundial so sorry to hear about your doggy always sad to lose a member of the family but congratulations to your daughter.

I had a very positive meeting with my oncologist today. She has prescribed additional tablets to take with the Anastrozole. Apparently they have spectacular results.

Welcome Bananabrain x sorry you have been diagnosed, here is a very comforting place to be, everyone is so lovely and supportive x

Hi dragonfly x so glad you had a positive meeting today! Big hugs xx

The good......had RT session number 10 this evening.....5 more to go :)

The bad......none :)

wishing a good peaceful night for you all xxx

Awww sundial so sorru to hear about monty. Pets do become  our babies dont they. I am pleased to hear that your daughters been ofered a new job, and so quickly after being made redundant. I bet she is chuffed.

Dizzle it's great to hear you enjoying life....and only 3 more rads! You go girl.

Bananabrain and all the other more recent joiners....welcome to the the thread that has been more of a lifeline to me. 

I'm a breast c lady. Diagnosed last March so 1 year anniversary is looming. I think the one thing I've learned on this thread is that it's ok to feel whatever you are feeling. The ladies here are incredible normal fun nuts and above all caring. You found a great safety net in this thread...welcome.

Thanks to all for the lovely welcome.  It's nice to not feel so alone, even if this is somewhere none of us wanted to end up.  It will be good to hear people's good news especially, and hopefully we can support each other with the bad news too.

Looking forward to chatting more with you strong ladies :)

Just wanted to let you know how sad I was to read of you beautiful fur baby. I know exactly how it feels...we had to say goodbye to our diva this time last year. I like to believe in rainbow bridge and that all 5 of my beautiful pups will be waiting for me one day....we only have Rubi now....they really do leave paw prints on our hearts....but I would rather have had them loved them and have all that unconditional love than not to have had them at all... I know you will understand this xxxxxx

Thank you. Yes I understand. Here’s to the rainbow bridge.

And incidentally the picture at the side is of my daughters dog, Maggie May, As she is still only eight months old, we said we would look after her in the afternoons when my daughter starts her new job. She’s a bit of a terror, OMG, What have we let ourselves in for. Whilst she will never take Montys place, she will help to ease the pain. 

Sundial

Sorry for your lost Sundial. I love pets as well, although I usually have cats.
And welcome everybody!

These days I don't know what I'm feeling. I feel like a zombie, but at the same time, I'm full of emotions. I feel like my existence doesn't make much sense.
Here I am at work looking at the screen without knowing what to do (it's a mist of lack of guidance by my supervisor with my lack of willpower to do anything). In my defence, I feel really isolated here, as no one invites me for meetings or involve me in serious work, perhaps because I'm just a fellow without a future here.

I'm always thinking about my boyfriend, his cancer and how sad I am. I guess I feel most of the time the bad...

The good: I go to a painting atelier and I'm doing oil on canvas... It's easier to not think about bad stuff during that time, and people say I'm talented. My birthday is tomorrow, maybe my friends will cheer me up, however, I'm sad that my boyfriend can't go because he is doing chemotherapy in another city...

I wish I could be a little more positive like other people here, but I can't. I spend too much time on my own, with bad thoughts. I hate being like this. I can only see my relatives on weekends...

Take care everybody*
