I was looking forward to meeting the consultant surgeon, but about 5 minutes before setting off started to get rather nervous. I guess since having the good news last week that scans were clear (no cancer in lungs, liver, etc) that I had been very upbeat and expecting the best possible outcome. The nervousness was probably because although an optimist I am also a realist (well, some of the time) and I know that the treatment even in a very treatable cancer is no walk in the park.
Now I am in the...

Well thats the first fathers day without my dad and it was so hard. My brothers didnt even mention him they where acting as if he didnt even exist and that has upset me alot. How can they do that he was the most important man in our life and they dont care. I went and sat in my mums room where my dad ashes are and spent a bit of time talking to him i just wish he could have gave a hug and told me that he loves me and hes proud of me. I miss him so much and it doesnt seem to get any easier . I feel...
Was relieved to get the call today (Monday) inviting me to meet the consultant tomorrow afternoon. I had hoped for the call on Friday, so was glad that they rang before lunch so I didn't have to chase.
I'm not really sure what to expect but I'll be armed with questions about exactly what has been found (stage, size and location of tumour), radiotherapy - including when it might start and likely side effects*, what is likely in terms of surgery.
Apart from that it is business as usual...
God I dont know where to start, has never been cancer in the family and then suddenly 2 members in 2 weeks on bowel and one jawbone both requiring operations and chemo/RT. 4 weeks into this nightmare and I keep thinking oh my god do I have cancer breast, bowel, mouth, I brushed my teeth so much I made them bleed, I look up the least little thing on google and read stuff into it. Has anyone else experienced these feelings.
Trying to keep going today. It is so hard to get through the day, I make sure I am kept busy. Thank you all for your replies. Wish you all Strength to get through this episode of your life.
