Hi there and welcome to our little chat room....

Yea you will feel every emotion in those early days ... it's like being put on the scariest rollercoaster ride ever.... not knowing how or when you can get off ... highs and positivity.... then plunging down into the unknown .... we've all been there ... and the looks people give you in sympathy,  don't help much ... but they mean well ... and it means they care ...

But saying that, it eases a bit once you start treatment ...  and you have a plan started ... l spent 2 days locked away, crying and cussing cancer ... then my daughter in law said , no more what ifs.... no more panicking.... no looking ahead ... well live in the day and take each problem as and when it comes up... and well do it together ..... was just the words I needed ... 

So picked my self up... got a pair of pink vertual boxing gloves on ... looked it in the eye and got ready to box back .... yea get down sometimes but have a good cry and stand back up and fight again ... coz cancer wants you to spend every day crying and giving up ... but let's stick two fingers up to cancer and kick it's butt.... it's not about winning or losing.... it's about doing everything we can on that cancer journey we find our selfs on .... sending you a vertual hug....
