I'm waiting for my cancerous lump in my breast to be remove on Tuesday . Just want it out ! 2  Lymph nodes to go def too .I have die going in with a wire midday Monday. I am trying to survive on no Smirk than 4hrs sleep a night ... subconscious won't switch off Smirk...

Another thing on my mind is going to be put on HRT which I havent wanted to before now ...I'm 60 so I must of gone thru menopause without  it but the cancer I have is HER2 at stage 2 has anyone not gone on it ...

Not looking fwd to chemo and radiotherapy of course but I have no choice Smirk.

Having said all this I feel positive about surviving etc ...my animals are my worry that family can't give them the care I do .Sweat

    I too have in the past been in some very dark places and that is why I live my life as I do .. I lost my hubby when he was 34 and my partner of 12 yrs at 40 ...partner was 10 one in 2yrs .. I only have my son left now ...I live for them as well as me ...it's a task I tell u ...been tested beyond belief over the yrs . I tell u surgery in my experience was the easy one ... Just gonna go with Chemo ...yeah I was v tired near the end before surgery it feels like it has u ... Not long now..   rest when u can... I only managed 4hrs a night at best .. days baby brain and just fighting for energy but such a relief to be rid of that evil disease ... My hair was looking sh*t but now it's sleek and manageable again ...

    Hang in there prayers for u always 

    Love

    I can understand what you say about the surgery being the easy one.  I couldnt try to magine what youve been through losing yor husband at 34 then losing your partner at 40.  I'd rather lose my breaat any day than my hubby he's my rock and soul mate. I'm so so sorry for these terrible  losses  you have had. You definitely have been tested beyond belief to say the least .

    I'm not surprised you so strong you have had no choice. I'm sure its a task but, i think the life you have been given has made you able to handle things. Although i'm sure you'd like to be given a break.  

    I hope you start to sleep better and get through the chemo ok.  

    Thank you for thinking of me when you have so much going on in your own life.

     Gentle Hugs and prayers for you

    Hi A,

    Yeah life has been different from the norm but like u say it makes u stronger ...Def has me ...but I think I was put on this earth to help people I have had in my life ...I miss them all terribly but I admit I do "talk" to them all everyday asking for their energies to help me get thru the days ,months ,years till I see them all again ...u see I turned spiritual about 20yrs ago which I find a comfort now ...nothing weird in it just a belief in the afterlife and that we are here for a purpose and just nothing after this life does not make sense  .. each to their own lol .

    I have animals so they are a great comfort to me all rescued of course JoyRacehorseDog2Tropical fishTropical fishChickenChickenChicken,and 5 Guinea pigs 

    Love and light my friend

    In my prayers

  • Hi Cobwoman

    Its a time like this i wish my mum was here to talk to and my dad likewise. Although i'd say i was alot closer to my mum.   

    Yes i visited their grave last week and put flowers on it for Easter.  Was asking them to give me strength etc.  My mum died last June i miss her dearly.  I would ho crazy if i thought i'd never meet up with them again. Think if i didn't have faith life would be very hard.

    I have a small circle of friends as i believe in quality not quantity they are a great support. I have a cousin that took in rescue dogs and cats but nows shes not fit to. She has a few but thats it now i think.

    You remember that you still need to take it easy as its early days. Sending you Gentle Hugs and prayers.

    Love

    Hi Angela 

    I wasn't close to my mum she adopted me out when I was 5 then I met up again when I was in my 20s but she lied to me all the time and kept secrets from me till her grave... I try to forgive her .. my dad I haven't seen since I was 2 when they split up . 

    U don't think how life can change when u take these lovely creatures on but I am coping ok .

    Yes I do rest quite a bit ...may seem I don't but believe me I do.

    Take care sweetie my phone is out of battery and my bed time anyway ..

    Love and light
