2nd time around

Dont know what to say, just want to cry.  Had breast cancer 23 years ago, thought I was one of the lucky ones, but now found a small mass (thats what the gp says) in the same breast(I had a lumpectomy)  My back on the same side has been giving me a lot of pain also that I cannot get rid of.   I am so afraid the cancer is back and this time gone into my bones, just like my mum.  I was 46 when I first got the cancer I just do not know what to do.  Tests are next Monday, but thats a whole week away.   This is the worst time I know.  I just think this time its going to be the end for me and I will have to say goodbye to my boys and the grandchildren and my husband is disabled and will not be able to cope without me.  Sorry guys I know you are all suffering, I just dont have anyone to talk to and I am going out of my head

  • Well my hunny ... HIGH 5 TO YOU....

    Take every day and look at things with new eyes ... see the good in the world ... stay close to kind gentle people .. keep away from angry moaners ... take life by the short and curlies.... they won't let me put the real word down ... and run with it ... 

    I'm sure you'll come across others that are really scared and having tests .. you can give them the hope that there are good outcomes ... we all need that ... don't waist a day ... live... love ... laugh .. and be happy ... you go girl ....   big big big hugs to you ...  Chrissie xx 

  • Thank you Marlyn,  I never thought I would be at this point.  Thank you so much for your support, so heartfelt and really appreciated.  You to will be like me and go on to enjoy many years of life.  I will keep onboard this chat line and help others like you helped me

  • Thank you Chrissie.  Definitely a High 5 and now I look at my husband and know thank goodness he will not be on his own, not able to look after himself.  That has been my biggest relief and of course my 2 disabled grandchildren will not have to work out why I am not around.  Such a relief

    I cannot express how grateful I am to you for all your support.  It saw me through these last week or so.

    I have to learn to go slower, and give more time to the things that are important and let go of the ones that are not.  You are right about keeping away from the moaners of the world and just enjoy the lovely people.

    Will keep onboard and hopefully I can give something back as well

    Bless you and I pray you to will still be doing this many years down the line
