Hi,

Your reaction is understandable. When cancer rears its ugly head we all suffer from shock and want to believe its just a bad dream. I hope her treatment goes well. Knowing she has you to support her will be a great comfort to her I feel sure.

Best wishes to both of you and please keep in contact, Brian.

Thank-you for your support Brian, I think our initial reaction was Oh my God she isgoing to die at 34 years old with 4 small children,I've tried googling her type of cancer and readsome positive and some not so positive. 

Hi,

With regard to googling, you have done exactly what I did when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I found some sites where the information was well out of date and some others where the info was missleading to put it mildly. So now I only use Cancer Research or Macmillan or well known sites as these keep the info correct and up to date. Statistics are improving all the time so it is very important for these sites to keep updating things. 

Your reaction was also what I thought for a minute or two when I was told I had cancer so I can well undeestand how you felt.

Hope things go well and your daughter gets good treatment. Best wishes, Brian.

Hi, The uncertainty that comes with cancer turns your life upside down. I was diagnosed on October 9th and after a failed lumpectomy am due to have a mastectomy on Dec 17th. Everyone's journey is different, try not to google beacuse it will overwhelm and scare you. You don't give any details aon the type of cancer or if it is in the lymph nodes but stage 3 isn't the worst news. There will be a lot of waiting ahead. Stay positive and take it one day at a time. When does she start treatment?

I was diagnosed in November. Have had masectomy and sentinal node biopsy. I get pathology results on Tuesday. I have to say that I'm numb to all of this as I haven't cried. Yes I'm depressed but think am also in sme kind of denial. Try to keep positive.
