Hi

So sorry you are going through this, it's soo hard I know having been there, I am sure you are as I did connecting loads of pain and systoms that have nothing to do with what your going through.

Dont be too hard on yourself, try to concentrate on the kids and remember you caught this early ther is soo much they can do.

Good luck always here xxx

Hi there ...

I had a grade 3 her 2 neg oestrogen positive lump in 2017.. I thought my number was up .. full of what ifs and planning funeral ... then my daughter in law said... no more panicking... no more what ifs... well take each problem as and when it comes up... and well do it together....

That was just what I needed ... I came on here , like you scared more then of the unknown ... looking back it was the hardest time of my whole journey .... once you get a plan and things start to roll out, I found then I could take it a day at a time ... l had a total right masectomy... with far little pain then I was expecting ... though under my arm where lymph nodes were taken was quite tender ... 

When I came on here I chatted to 5/6 others who had been diagnosed with breast cancer ... one lass started a thread called " the good and bad" where a few of our journeys are spoken of on there ... and as far as l know we never lost one yet .. most have gone back to their life post cancer... one lovely lass has gone on after her treatment to have two babies ... 

So take a deep breath ... get a pair of pink vertual boxing gloves... and climb into this ring, ready to punch it right back ... I got a tea shirt that says " cancer touched my boob.... so I kicked it's assss  .... 

Treatments have come a long way ... it won't be a walk in the park but it is doable.... if it knocks you down .. rant , cuss , and scream ... then get back up ready to fight again ... you can do this ... Chrissie xx

Thank you! That's exactly what I'm doing and it helps to know that ithers have been through the same. Will be so much better when a plan is in place, I am sure of it!! Thank you for taking the time to reply, 

Thanks Chris! This helps a lot, I appreciate you telling me about your journey and so happy to hear that it's all going well at the moment for you and others in the group. It's good that the treatments are so much more effective now! My mind feels like a fog and struggling to focus on the positives at the moment but I know they will come! My kids are 10 and 13 and that's the hardest bit of all of it... worrying so much about them!
