Well am back at work today after having a couple of days off after being told I have cancer. Cant just sit around the house moping even if thats all I want to do. Someones got to pay the bills. Still running tests so dont even know what treatment will be let alone how much time I am going to have off so figured while I can better keep working. Its hard though to concentrate on what seems like such meaningless stuff now. Not to mention listen to everyone else complaiin about such trivial crap...... Best just bite my tongue though

Havent had the courage to tell anyone yet except my boss who is being very understanding. Guess we will let everyone know what is happening once I know what is happening.

Have my mri tommorrow. Ahhhh!!!! not sure i like confined spaces!

Well better at least go and try to do something constructive.

What a remarkable person you must be, to be so very strong at a time like this. It does kind of put everything else into perspective though doesn't it! Good luck with your MRI, and i hope to hear from you soon.

Thinking of you

Hi Robyn,

I do know what you mean although it wasn't me who was diagnosed it was my husband. When he first told me I came home from work straight away and he asked what I was doing home! I went back to work next day as it was something to do. My imediate reaction was now we know what it is lets deal with it. You are being really strong and everyone does talk drivel.

Good luck with the MRI and when I had one I kept saying my times tables over and over again. Took my mind of it.

Love and hugs Stacey xxxxx

Dear Robyn

I wish you all the very best for your MRI tomorrow. I think you are right to keep going to work - sitting around at home just gives you too much time to think. I only wish I could join you!

Good luck, and lots of love

Cherry

Hi Robyn

I know how you feel about going back to work as that is what I did when I was first told I had cancer. I found great strength from my friends at work and I am sure everyone will be the same toward you.

Good luck with your MRI and hope to hear from you soon. Take care Love Carol XX

HI Robyn

We met on chat the other night.

Good luck with the MRI - don't forget to take some CDs or you could end up listening to Abba like I did - Arghhh!

I chickened out on telling everyone when I was diagnosed, just told my boss and made him do the rest.

I found the inane drivel that people moan about, actually quite comforting because, when you first find you have cancer, you think the world has stopped, but then you realise that it hasn't and it is just a challenge that we have to face. (Not quite sure why WE have to face it, but , then again why not US, someone has to)

I didn't find the MRI as bad I thought it would be. I get claustrophobia (it's air conditioned, so not stuffy)

So, relax and take some good tunes with you and have a good sing a long.

Take care

Jo
