&lt;p&gt;Mouth ulcers, sickness and sometimes cant poo!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They dont know what to say, so say norhing at all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I am not contagious, its not like the flu,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I make a joke, just join in, just be you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shocked that you have me because they know &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you are BAD!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a purpose, I HAVE to be Strong!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To plan for the future, because I still feel Young&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And for the rest of my life, I&amp;#39;m determined to have fun &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good news is though is the tumour is decreasing even more and my onc is very pleased with that.&amp;nbsp; Im feeling positive again after a couple of weeks of feeling very low and tearful (not like me at all), I know triple negative breast cancer is more difficult to treat but ive always thought positively, until i overheard someone saying about their breast cancer, they said *thank god its not triple negative* and it started me thinking, got my self scared thinking I was going to die, had lots of scenarios in my head of not being here for my girls (two daughters, two grandaughters). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ive pulled myself back up again though and Im not giving up, gonna laugh my way better and see off this cancer with corny jokes lol . &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doing kung fu kicks around the room helps me when im frustrated lol &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thankyou for my friends who have messaged me and helped me so much....... you know your names xxxhugsxxxx &lt;/p&gt;

I wish 
none of us were on here. I really do. But since we do have this 
dreadfull illness, or are caring for a loved on who has it, then&amp;nbsp; this is a great place .Especially in those early days when&amp;nbsp;your diagnosis&amp;nbsp;is what shocks you awake, nags 
at your mind when you&amp;#39;re needing sleep and dominates most moments 
of your day. To be able to come to a site like this, and to share some talk, some 
tears, some laughs, some fears. You can walk alone but why? When you can
 come on here and have someone to hold your hand. I dont know what I would have done without this site, I have had good advice, made friends, put my fears aside and laughed, I am much more positive now and that reflects on my family, also I decided that im not going to let the fear of cancer take away my love of life xx&lt;/p&gt;
