Cancer at 29

Good morning everyone,

I also have had the terrible news that I have breast cancer in my left breast I have 3 lumps I will have to have the breast removed and chemo. Was not expecting this as a 29th birthday present that's for sure.

I have 2 young children and to say I'm scared is and understatement! I'm going for my mri today to dine out the stage and what order my treatment needs to be done in. 
I am very strong infront of my family but behind closed doors is another story. 
if you don't mind can some of you share your warrior stories with me please as google is not doing me any good.

  • Hi there ..

    So so sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment... it's never easy to digest but at your age it's really crule ...

    Now saying that , I came on here like you in 2017 , scared and knowing everything in my world had changed .. I chatted to an amazing angel on here, @Jolomine,  who'd had two rounds of breast cancer.. and double masectomy... I was due for a right total masectomy ... and a grade 3 breast cancer...

    While here another 5/6 others joined in ... all different stages and treatments... but all breast lasses .. all scared ... 

    One lass started the thread on here called the good and bad... we all joined in the chat about the "good and bad" parts of this journey... we all held on together... through everything .. it's like a scary rollercoaster ride .. not knowing when we can get off .. but if you jump on, wer all there with you .. after getting all those scary feelings out, and crying / cussing ... for a couple of days ..I imagined getting a pair of pink vertual boxing gloves on .. getting in this cancer boxing ring and punching cancer right back .. if it knocked me down .. I'd cuss and yell .. then get right back up ready for the next round ..

    It's not about winning or losing... it's about hitting it back .. not letting it define who you are .. it's o.k not to show everyone how in control you are .. it's about sharing .. letting loved ones in .. admitting your scared .. they are scared for you .. just being strong won't help any one .. it will break you in the end .. 

    So join us on this scary ride .. you can do this .. and where are those 5/6 and more that joined in along the way .. most have gone back to their life post cancer... with a couple of us stay here, to say, it is doable .. and one of those lasses had a baby boy after treatment .. and about to deliver her little one any time soon .. so come on ... always here if you need a shoulder to lean on ... sending you a vertual hug... Chrissie xx

  • Thank you so much for your kind words! 
    I feel like I'm in a daze. People ask me day to day questions and stuff I would normally remember I'm forgetting.! I'm currently on the way for my mri and staging and the plan will be discussed Friday! 
    im defo going to knock this out the park. I'm ok in the days it's the mornings before the kids are up. Xx

  • Hi,

    I have sent you a friend request. I had not long turned 31 when diagnosed last year, happy to chat :)

    MRI is fairly straight forward, hope it goes OK for you today!
