Love the pic ... mine is my son and grandkids ... the reason we take this on ... 

I was like you .. and @Jolomine  was my guardian angel on here .. Marlyn was like you and I took her under my wing ... now she's "paying it forward" later you can take someone under your wing who's scared ... but trust we all had loads of wobbles befor it starts ... funny enough once things happen it's not so bad ..

My scar where my boob used to be .. it's my story ... my journey ... and I look at it with pride ... cancer can change our bodies but not who we are ...  keep talking lass .. be gently honest with your  beautiful daughter ... she's old enough to pick things up .. I told my granddaughter in pic ... yes nanny was very poorly and the Drs were going to try to make me better ..

You said about laughter ... after my masectomy,  she was staying with me, sitting on my lap watching t.v .. I adjusted my falsey behind her .. quick as a flash she'd turned round , pulled my tee shirt away .. saw the scar and screamed ...  " nanny she yelled ... how are you going to feed babies now!!!!  "   

Because I'd been GENTLY honest with her ... she's knows and is fine and she's got me through so much .. mainly with laughter ...  Chrissie xx

Hey

Just thought I would pop by. Have a full scan is normal, as Chriss says they like to have a full picture to make sure they an tailor your treatment plan .  I had a ct scan and it picked up I had appendicitis (no symptoms) but had to have it out before I started treatment as there was a risk of it rupturing. 
Try and keep yourself busy and stay away from google, and try not to think about what ifs, deal with what you know at the time, my breast nurse said it's not worth worrying about something until it is something, and we will deal with it then. 
I was diagnosed in March, appendix out May, 6 rounds of chemo and I'm currently in hospital having had a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction, got radio therapy to do but I never thought I would be here, it's tough but doable and I've discovered that I am brave and strong. I'm quite emotionless about the whole thing as well, just want to get through and then build back up again to my new normal.

im here for support and a chat if you need it. Big hugs.

Awwwwww chrissie that's such a cute pic xxx

Wow ur such an inspiration to everyone hun,... So glad I found u on here xx

Omg I literally just laughed out load... Bless her little heart.. 

I was honest with my daughters because we only really have each other and we r always honest and we r all very close x

I've told them it's OK to be cross, sad, scared, what's important is that we stick together and talk about it honestly... I've told them if they need to scream and shout then to do it because its OK....however when they have finished we r all going to dust ourselves off and carry on the journey... They make me feel strong.... And so proud of how they r dealing with it xxx

Ur grand daughter sounds a hoot bless her heart x

Thanks for being so amazing xxx
