Hi,
One place you will not be alone is here :) The chat room is so friendly and everyone has time to talk.
Sorry to hear your news, mum was diagnosed 22 Dec 09, I live with mum.
Aw its hard isnt it, you got family tho? Unfortunately you arnt alone with this horrible disease, i was diagnosed last July and still now looking back after all the treatment and effects of it i still think it seems surreal, try and think positive and the guys on here are great we all know what you are going through, i wont bore you with my story but you can read my blogs.
Take care and if you ever want to sound off i dont mind LOL
Hi, I'm a cancer patient so I know how terrifying it is to get such a diagnosis . I think as time passes you may surprise yourself about how you cope with the situation. That you have found your way to this site is a step in the right direction as it is full of people (both patients and carers) who will give you help and support so you don't have to feel alone. I wish you courage and strength, Jay
I was diagnosed with bowel cancer with spread to lymph nodes June 2009. I've had surgery and 6 months chemotherapy and have been told that I'm now considered cured. So there is hope! It is hard being told you have cancer. I couldn't take it in and felt like I was talking about someone else, sadly I wasn't. You've done the right thing by joining Macland. It has been my lifeline from when I was diagnosed, such lovely and supportive people who I now call my friends. We are all here for you, so feel free to ask questions or have a rant whenever you need to.
I'm currently 26 months post-treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer!
I know it's devastating when your diagnosed with this horrendous disease,however I'm sure you'll find loads of support on this site and no problem is ever too small as we have all been there!
