Hi Terri

I'm not surprised your head is all over the place. I felt the same but once I'd taken it all onboard I thought, right l've got cancer so let's get on with things and get the cancer out asap. I was scheduled for surgery 3 weeks later but ended up going in within the week. I didn't have time to think, everything seemed to happen quite quickly.

I wish you lots of strength to get through this and as you have said, it's onwards and upwards. Let the battle commence!

Take care Terri

Dear Terri - crap news!!

Anyway, I'm at the end of the hell you are about to go through but there really is life after mastectomy/axillary clearance/treatment.  You may not feel it right now, understandably, but I am glad I had all the treatment as I would not be here today and life really is sweet, no matter what.  The only advice I can offer is to take one day at a time and don't be afraid to show how your'e feeling as you have every right to.  I don't know how you are feeling as this is your predicament but I do know we all have inner strength when the need arises and, with the love of your husband who will love you no matter what and support from all your friends/family your strength will get you through.  Good luck Terri I shall think of you on the day and say a little prayer.  In the meantime please use this site as sometimes we all need to go outside ourselves.

Thinking about you love, we are all will you even if it is from afar...........love Carol x

Hi Terri, Dont carry all your worries yourself, we are all here to lean on. I had a lung lobe removed, was terrified, but after the op wondered what I had been worrying about. Dont worry about surgery, let the surgeon and his team worry about that. The waiting is the worst part. Cancer itself is a worry, I worry about it returning, we all do. Try and calm yourself, take one step at a time.

Gentle hugs, Bill xxx

Teri,

I am so sorry the news wasn't better, glad hubby was there to ask all right questions. It takes me back to being told I had a brain tumour......the numbness and then not really listening and just nodding my head.  Two or three days later I was left wondering if I had heard them right at all.

Take your time, be gentle on yourself and in the meantime.....use us and abuse us all you need, together we have the broadest shoulders in the world.  We can carry you for a few days matey.

Wish I could say something wise and meaningful.....but I am just a headcase from Essex alas.....but I send my love & strength.
