Hi Guys Firstly i want to thank everyone for your wonderful messages of support and pm's.
Today went quite well, I has a 4 hour lecture this morning with various speakers from the trust, it was very informative but made my head hurt.
The Chaplain came in too but i was ok. I was worried about that part but i was fine.
This afternoon i got to visit my ward. I am on renal ward, we have a lot of dialysis patients but everyone including the staff seemed lovely. One lady prob in her 80's asked me...

Well anyway as a couple of very close friends on here know i was devastated by some stuff she did on sat , but do you know what i cant ask ju anything...
Hi All,
I too am new to this blog thing. I thought it might make me feel less alone to realise other people are out there going through much worse than me. I haven't been through that much and I should be more positive by far. I was diagnosed in April 09 with Lobular Carcinoma, underwent a lumpectomy and partital node removal, then RT. I decided after an ONCO DX test not to do Chemotherapy, as it would not benefit me (I hope that was the right decision) .
Now I am taking Tamoxofen and Zoladex...

It will be 4 months tomorrow since our wedding day, which makes it 4 months and 1 week since his diagnosis, which was terminal from the start, do not pass go do not collect £200. No hope of cure, but he was still so determined to fight it and it was all taken from him so fast it feels so unfair.
And now there is me, left behind, alone...
I have finished the active part of my treatment for BC (diag Jan 2010), it's been a whirlwind to say the least (surgery, chemo, rt).
I am a very positive person by nature and truly believe this has helped my on my journey and am somewhat surprised by my feelings at present, of will I be able to do this. In my heart I know I can it just feels a little odd at the moment.
This site and all my MAC friends have been amazing and I am thankful for all the support I have received. I guess these things...

My daughter Stevie was having funny turns for a number years and the doctors were not very helpful. 2 weeks before her 25th birthday she was send for a scan. This showed that she had a brain tumor. She had an operation one week after her birthday to de-bulk the tumor. She came through the operation really well the only side efect was she had lost part of her sight in one eye. The following year the grade 4 tumor had grown and she was sent for a 7 weeks course of radiotherapy. The poor we soul lost...
I couldn't get on to the site yesterday.
