Hi All 1st day here so here goes

1 minute read time.

Hi

1st time at this trying to get my head round the fact that the doctor has told me I have the big C. Feel a bit of a fraud at the mo as feel and look fine all a bit surreal. Was watching the England match with my boys but have given up watching as pants !!! lol

Anyway story so far, found a lump under my arm a few weeks ago popped to the docs on the insistance of my partner was reffered to the breast clinic, week later mamagram scan and biopsy( bit surprised thought they were going to laugh me away) week later popped back to have a chat and BANG sorry we have found secondary cancerous cells in 3 areas of the Lyph nodes cant see the primary on the mammagram so time for a MRI and CAT scan- had yesterday and results week today- day I am of to Edinburgh with the girls for a blinding hen weekend. Anyway decided only course of action was to go and buy shoes :)

So not sure what to expect next week so we will see fingers crossed but unfortunalty for the big C it has picked the wrong :) Oh well until next time xxx

    Hi

    stay strong and positive and dont let this thing beat you!

    i was diagnosed on the 8th april, lumpectomy on 30th april, then mastectomy on 14th may.

    waiting for the results has got to be the hardest part, my third result was positive and i was told they had got it all, <phew!>

    started chemo on the 11th june.

    it is sooo surreal. i keep thinking "im not ill!"

    anyway, since my last result, i have not thought of cancer. i have put it to the back of my mind and am getting on with life. im sure you will be able to do the same!

    just take every treatment offered and knuckle down to it with all the energy you can throw at it!

    i am a single parent with 3 kids 18, 13 and 10 and i am a childminder caring for a 2, 3 and 5 year old from 7.30 - 5.30 mon to frid.

    i have only had 1 week off work <after my mastectomy> this is that doable!!

    enjoy edinburgh and take care of yourself.

    love and hugs
