Hi Linda

Thanks for responding , my sisters are taking me shopping on Sunday for them and also pj' s with buttons down as I can't believe all my pj go over my head lol !! - can't wait for my operation to be done !!

Hi noo, i was diagnosed on 22nd Dec (my birthday!!).  I just told them, my family are in Wales so I had to do it over the phone.  My two teenage girls I had to tell over Xmas as they are away at college and university and it was the only time I'd see them for a while.  I told them the truth and also answered all their questions honestly.  I didn't talk about chemo as I didn't know at that time if I'd be having it and I didn't want to worry them more than necessary.  I guess I played it down a bit and I was very blasé about it and positive myself then.   Also I've found a fab 100% natural cream deodorant called fit pit from thegreenwoman and the sensitive one can be used during and after cancer treatment.  Have a good day, hugs Linda xx

Thanks Linda , can I buy that deodorant on line? (Never even thought of deodorant and having to change the one I use ) 

will google it now, thanks again xx

Yes it's great you can get it on Etsy, they do a £3.00 pot so you can try it first see if it suits you.  I do sweat and I've found it to be very good so far
