Please don't be round 2

...

Hi . Wasn't sure about joining. Cancer has been a part of my life for the last 30yrs. I lost my husband 3yrs on March 28th . This week 3 yrs ago he went into the hospice for his first time . I didnt think he would be coming home but he did after a 2 week stay and gave us a few more weeks before his final stay. Anyway I do a vlog which I've done from the first day of his last visit . I was only going to do for a year but carried on . I talk to people about cancer grief and just anything . Well as you see I do chat sorry . Nervous. Anyway a week ago I found a lump . I tried to ignore and convince myself it wasn't real . I work at a gps so got the nurse to check . Its real . Cut to next part im booked in to see breast clinic on 24th. I havent even been able to walk in the hospital since I lost my husband. I have ra and dont even attend appointments at hospitals I go thru gp. Anyway thats it basically. Im not scared of death in fact it would be perfect if I didnt still have such a young son . He still needs his mum and im terrified of him having to go thru it all again . Im sure its nothing but I must admit having a little knowledge doesnt help. X thanks for listening

  • Hi Looloo66,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm glad you were able to join the forum and post here and I hope you find the forum helpful moving forward.

    I'm very sorry to hear of everything you've been through. It sounds like you do a lot for others with your vlog - I'm sure that sharing your experiences must be helpful for others, and hopefully in some way for you too.

    Having a little knowledge about this can of course be a good and a bad thing. Hopefully your clinic appointment isn't too far away so you can get some answers before too long, as I know the uncertainty and waiting for information is difficult.

    There are many others here who have been through, or are going through, something similar - so hopefully you'll receive further replies soon. Otherwise, do feel free to have a browse or search the forum for other relevant discussions.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
