Hi [@Evie123]‍ 

I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling so sad.

I wish I could say more to help you you mean while big hugs.

Thank you hun

On the whole I'm trying to stay positive and convince myself it's just stage 2. But every so often I get overwhelmed. I'm sure you've felt the same! 

And talking to people outside of here, I mostly feel like I'm trying to reassure them! 'Of course it could be benign! I'm sure even if it isn't they'll treat it! Most cancers have positive outcomes!' 

But in my core there's a part of me that's terrified. And every so often I just can't keep it up, can't stop the tears and can't breathe...

Realistically - and I do mean realistically - it's likely to be Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I'm not really going to my appointment to find out if it's cancer, I'm going to find out what stage it's at. And it's minimal stage 2.

But I'm fine on the whole! And it could still be benign!!

Lol. Thank you so much for being here. There isn't anything anyone can say. But I'm grateful you're here to listen and respond xxx

Hi [@Evie123]‍ 

I am really sorry you are overwhelmed. I know that feeling, I have some non cancer overwhelming worries.

I treally do hope it's benign.

I just want to put my arms roumd you and want to hug you.

It must be awful the worry, pm me anytime if you wanna chat.

Thank you so much, you are such a great support and it really means a lot.

I've just started a new thread, I doubt it will be popular. But I've had a few glasses of wine now and decided if it's stage 4 I may as well enjoy life. Except we're in lockdown and there's no-one to party with...

Hi [@Evie123]‍ 

I am so sorry you feel this anxious, booze will just make you more anxious, it has a rebound effect the next day for me, i dont drink anymore though now.

I am thinking of you, if you want you can pm me, you would need to send me a friend request in order to pm, hopefully i can just talk to you if it will help.

Hugs

Thank you hun. I got a bit overwhelmed! But as you know I had the news about Pumpkin yesterday so breast cancer is the least of my worries at the moment. We're trying to give her as many cuddles as we can before the dreaded vet appointment tomorrow xx

Big hugs, best of luck with vet appointment.

I just wanted to send you a hug. What a strong lady you are. I do hope you get some positive news and your appointment isn't too long away. Xx

Thank you Libby :)

My appointment is on Wednesday, 5 sleeps to go... it feels like an eternity at the moment!

We said goodbye to Pumpkin today, she went so peacefully and calmly that it's given us some comfort.

Thank you too Hope2, you're always very supportive and it's very much appreciated xxx

Hi [@Evie123]‍ 

So sorry to hear about the loss of pumpkin my condolences.

I hope the five sleeps go as quickly as possible very wise but in the meantime I hope you can find some reason to smile even if it's with your other pet.
