Hi Caroline, I realy do wish you all the luck in the world - and no you are not being silly at all! Very sensible, especially asking for support, guidance, help and encouragement from folk using this website. I have seen these traits (and more) in adbundance on this site and I know everyone who reads your blog will be rooting for you. Keep us posted ..... Debbie :-)
Caroline, I just wanted to add my luck as well. I have an appointment for Thursday to receive the results of a PET scan which will determine whether I have surgery or palliative care, and I know how it feels to need as much luck as one can muster! I have had several recurrences and I know what you mean about not feeling in control of your own life - I always found, just when I did get brave enough to start making plans for the future, up would pop another suspect scan result or lump!!
Hang on in there girl - here's hoping you have just a harmless little cyst! Keep us informed
Thank you all for your encouragement scamn went well they seem to think that it is cysts fingers crossed . And Debbie I will hope your luck changes for the better and you dont end up having Palliative care life is so cruel. Thet say it makes you stronger having to cope with all this but I would rather be weak and not have it if there was a choice. Take care everyone love Caroline xxx
Aw sweetheart, you are having a rough old time of it, and I am so sorry. I'm with you when you say about waking up from the bloody nightmare we are all of us living through. It's the easiest thing in the world for people to offer advice and they DO mean well, but they are just words after all. I think the thing that gets me through every day is; my wonderful husband, my fantastic sister and my brilliant friends - ALL of whom have been so amazingly there for me, anytime. So, I think what will get you through will be the same things. Not necessarily the husband (don't know if you're married), but family and friends are the BEST antidote to cancer. I wish you all the luck in the world sweetheart, and go give 'em hell, with love from kate xxxxxxxxxx
Having had a similar appointment 'mishap' this morning, I can sympathise. Do we ever control our life after this diagnosis? I am beginning to wonder . . . .
