Hi

Hi all my wife has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, she's going to be having surgery next month and she is petrified, she's constantly thinking the worst, the cancer is about 5mm in size, is there anything I can do to reassure her and help her through this horrible time.

Thank you for your time 

  • Hi ya ... and welcome to our little chat room ...

    I had a mastectomy on the right side last year in july .. I came on here like your wife scared of everything because it's the unknown ... and now 14 months down the road can honestly say the scariest of everything was those early days your in now ..

    I got some amazing advice on here .. and my daughter in law said to me and my son .. right so you got a grade 3 cancer... wer gonna stop panicking.. wer not do any more what ifs ... no looking too far ahead .. well live in the day and take every problem as and when it comes up .. and we'll do it together..

    That was the best advice ever .. I wish we all had a daughter in law like her .. and true to her word she was right by my side .. I got a pair of vertual boxing gloves .. stood up, jumped in the ring with cancer .. ready for a fight .. there's lots of us breast lasses that have joined in .. and all of them scared silly in the beginning... but cancer doesn't want us strong .. it wants us to lay down and give in, and never get up ..

    Wer all kicking cancers butt .. wer all still here .. and we've got cancer scared of us .. so once you both get over the shock .. know cancer in the breast has come a long way ... and I had a grade 3 ... if your wife wants to ask anything , there's always someone on here that can help .. and they are the kindest , lot of lasses you could find ... so come on get those gloves on, and join us kicking cancers butt ..
