Just wanted to say hello.The waiting is the worst part isn't it.But I'm sure you know that.Gosh how horrible to suddenly have this shock after such a long time I'm so sorry.

Do you know anything about your cancer stage etc? I have just started my chemotherapy for breast cancer actually I'm in hospital as I've became neutrophenic with a viral infection.I'm going home today so pleased!

I hope you do find the support here as you would like.There are lots of ladies on here at the moment who are going through the same things as you and I. I hope you make some friends. 

I wish you luck and I'm always about to chat

Take care

Hi, sorry to hear your need. Depending on the type of cancer the medics have a lot of arsenal at their disposal. Easy for people to say but take all advice from medics and all available treatment. There is life after a secondary diagnosis. I was treated for breast cancer three years ago now and during my treatment I made friends with ladies who had been coping with a secondary diagnosis ten years after being dealt the secondary status. So hang on in there. Take care. 

Hi and thankyou so much for your positive words my cancer was and is estrogen fed but the worse thing is I had a hysterectomy over ten years ago and was put on a low dose patch to stop my terrible symptoms so I blame myself for it returning just to get a good quality of life I'm now paying the price! Good luck to you x

Hi there so sorry to hear your in hospital but the best place! I only know the cancer I have is the same as before estrogen fed! It's nice to know you felt the same it is hell just waiting for the next stage! Good luck and please keep in touch as I will x

Hi

I'm home now but I have to go and be assessed again tomorrow.I'm still very weak my legs don't want to work.

Today my hair started to thin had some small handfuls from the back.I knew it would happen but it's still upsetting.

My cancer was also estrogen fed.where is your reoccurrence to? I do hope you soon have all the next appointments and things move along for you.It's better to have a focus.you can do this you have done it once and you can do it again.

Take care Ness x 

Oh love it's not nice I do remember the hair falling out but I got some lovely wigs and I embraced the fact I could change my hairstyles! My cancer has come back in the same breast but a different place! It's annoys me cause I was private in 1998 and begged them to take my breast off but they refused saying it wasn't necessary now I wonder if this reoccurrence would've happened if they had! My next appointment is for a full body scan to see if it's spread that's the crucial moment for me! If it hasn't a mastectomy will be done! If it has chemo first! I do hope you start to feel stronger Hun I am rooting for you! Hopefully this will all be a bad memory for us in a years time Sheena x

Oh gosh sheena you poor thing. I suppose so much has changed now with medicine and how they treat breast cancer.I hope your results are positive ones.

I have had a mastectomy I didn't have much of a choice because I had two areas of cancer and I'm very small.it's quite a hard thing to get your head around at 36.But I understand now that a lot of us are younger than I thought.

I've many scarfs and hats etc..and a few clips to attach to them to look pretty.

Thank you for your kindness 

Rooting for you too.Ness xx

Hello, so sorry to hear your cancer has returned after so many cancer free years. The waiting is for sure the worst bit once all the tests are done. I am hoping this week will reveal all my results and my treatment will be discussed at MDT as not knowing what is ahead is really difficult. Hope you don't have too long to wait too. Stay strong.
