HI Minska,

Welcome to the forum.

i am sorry to hear about your cancer journey so far, but glad to discover that you are now waiting for your first check up with your oncologist.

I sincerely hope that this shows a sizeable shrinkage and, that all goes well for you.

Kind regards,
Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine-thank you. My treatment finished on Christmas Eve, so it’s been a waiting game since. Just over 2 weeks to go till my check up... I feel well, but still have dark moments, which I guess we all do. Trying to stay positive though, imagining my tumour has shrunk to nothing, and spent the day looking for holidays! xx

Hi Minska

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry to hear about your treatments-hope all goes well for you when you see the Oncologist.

Life is tough as it is-but tougher still for us who are faced with cancers.

This is a nice place to share our views and help and support each other.

You are not alone in this journey-the support we get here is incredible.

I do understand that the most difficult part is waiting for results and follow up appointments.

But don’t worry you will be OK. Be positive.All will be well.

Best wishes

Radley

Hi Radley

Thank you so much for your message, I’m a very positive person normally..try not to let negativity creep in if I can help it.  Life is just never the same after a cancer diagnosis. But I’m not ready to give up! I hope you are doing well wherever you are in all of this. xx

Hi Minska

I agree life is not the same after a cancer diagnosis. My whole world fell apart when I was told I had cancer in my left breast.It was again shattered to pieces when I was told I will need a mastectomy after the results of lumpectomy.Now I am waiting for the results of the histology which I will know in two weeks.Feel stressed but trying to avoid thinking about it.

Together we will all have to fight it out with each other’s support.

Hope all goes well for you.

Keep us posted.

Regards

Hi, I am keeping everything crossed for you hun, isn't it just so surreal at times! Some days I feel like I am having an outer body experience....like it's all happening to someone else....especially when I am talking about getting my wig fitted! Eek!!!

let us know how you get on? And I hope chemo wasn't too gruelling.....xxxx

Hello you,

I hope your histology comes back with good news. It's hard to stop your mind going to those dark places....but we all do it.....what if? Maybe? Really? I am so grateful for this forum....we are all in the same boat and just get one another....

take care.....come on lasses.....xxxx

Hi  Marlyn

I hope so too Thanks

Regards

Radley

Hi Marlyn-thank you. I know exactly what you mean about it being surrea! Sometimes just feels it’s not happening to me...especially when I feel well. 

I found chemo ok, although couldn’t have my last one as my platelets were too low. I was lucky in not losing my hair on my chemo...before I had cancer I assumed everyone lost their hair, but it’s amazing what you learn when this all starts! 

I have a check up this week with another specialist as I had a pulmonary embolism in December in the middle of everything else! Fingers crossed all is ok with that-I’m on daily blood thinning injections now. xx

Hi Radley

Thank you for your kind wishes. It’s so hard not to feel stressed waiting for results..it just takes over your mind completely, well it does me. So it’s good to find support from others having exactly the same feelings and knowing what it’s like. We’re stronger together! 

Wishing you all the best. xx
