Hi Sandra,

The nurses asked me to check out this thread and to sort of keep a diary going.

The bad, my adolescent son has been diagnosed with testicular cancer this week and the CT showed its travelled up to his lungs which means after surgery he will need chemo. They'll put in a central line while they remove the teste with the tumour.

The good, I'm proud of him for taking the news in his stride. He looked straight back at the doctor unflinching. If he'd turned to look at me or his mum we would've both started blubbing. Took it well did little man.

We just don't know what to expect from chemotherapy.

I'll post regular updates on here. First step is the operation on Thursday.

Hi ashm welcome to the forum, so sorry about your son, thank you for keeping us updated on how things are going, the ladies come on any time depending what they are doing in today, hope everything goes well best wishes.

Hi All

iv stumbled across this thread and love how supportive and positive you all are. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer on Friday and the last couple of days Iv been in a bit of daze. It doesn’t really seem real! I’m thinking positively one minute then the next I’m freaking out. I’m sure these emotions are all normal. Iv spoken to some lovely people on here already and found it a comfort talking to people who know exactly how your feeling.

What!

Billy they can suggest but don’t mean u have to. Only do this if it’s best for you. You care for your mrs so it needs to be best for you. 

I’d not half be ranting too. 

Through the day where will you sit, have your meals....,,,,I wouldn’t be ranting I’d be raging. X

Hi chrissie it'll make it easier to move bren about for bed we've got main room i was showing one of them what I do to get bren to bed when went back other one had persuaded Mrs to go downstairs well try it it will be easier to move her about but I'm not very happy about what happened but I checked with Mrs when they went and she said she'd try it,, well see what happens. Thanks for your concern, 

Billy 

I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you get it all sorted out.

Hi Lisa, we know how you feel. We have all been there. Just come and tell us exactly how you are feeling, let off steam and share your worries with us. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t see mine yet but I will.

Hi Lisa sorry for ignoring you just having a good rant, it can get confusing on this sting but it's like one big family most are brest lassies but like any family there's gents as well hopefully they'll get in touch with you soon if you want to tell us a bit more about you you'll go to the end of the string so they'll notice you better best wishes.

Hi lisa

a very warm welcome to the thread though sorry to hear about your diagnosis. 

It’s very early days for you so you are absolutely right.... how you are feeling is normal. It will get better... usually when you get your treatment plan.

i was never told my staging but I was told I was  grade 2. 

Its coming up 2 yrs since my diagnosis and I am now on annual mammograms. 

Life has pretty much returned to as it was before diagnosis for me... one of the reasons I still post is to show the post treatment normality.

Hang in there lass you can do this.

any questions fire away we will answer all we can. If you want t rant go for it .... many of us on here have been there done that and know exactly how you feel.

dragonfly is right look for the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes it’s further away for some but still there. X
