Sorry your Mum has had this news. I had breast cancer and the lymph nodes under my left arm had cancer cells in 7 out of 8 tested so all mine were removed and then had chemo and radiotherapy.
Has your Mum had a treatment plan yet?
She and you have had a nasty shock but try to remain positive. She survived the first and hopefully will survive this one too.
Am thinking of you and am sure others will reply who may have had the same cancers as your Mum.
hi sue thank you so much for writing back you were the only reply i got and i am really greatful. im really not coping cant eat sleep or function. no plan yet waiting from hospital for planned treatment. hope all is well with you
Let me know what they decide to do with your Mum's treatment and if its anything like mine I can tell you what it is like.
Have a trip to your GP. He or she may be able to give you some antideppresants and sleeping tablets for a short time to help you cope. There is no shame in getting help for yourself my love.
You can PM me anytme. I will always reply to you.
Am feeling ok at the mo but get tired at times.
Lots of Love
Sue x x
You will get more replies I am sure. Everyone has been out to enjoy the hot weather I expect.
Hi Sarah, I just read your message and I wanted to say I was thinking of you and your mum, I can't really relate to your mum's circumstances now, my dad has oesophageal cancer with spread to his glands at present so he is terminal and inoperable, but just so you know I am hear to chat and support you as are lots of people on here, stay strong Tracy xx
