Hi everyone

Hi seashanty, I can relate to how difficult it is to come to terms with this latest setback. And it took me quite a long time to accept my situation for what it is and start living as normal a life as possible again. But I got there eventually and so will you. The treatments are phenomenal nowadays and this group will always be here to give support when you need it. Have a lovely day.

Hi seashanty,  Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  I had bc in 2012 with lumpectomy chemo and radiotherapy.  Last year was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer with bone mets in most of my bones.  It has been a year now since diagnosis and I feel much more positive now than this time last year.  This is such a friendly, supportive group of people and this has definitely helped me.  I hope that you find the same.  Big hugs and we all understand.

Thank you so much Gilpat, I needed to hear that!

Hope you have a good day too x

Hi Lee, thank you for replying.

I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis, you've certainly made me think- in my darker moments I've wondered if it's even worth starting a new tv series,whether I'll be alive at the end (!) but you've given me hope and I can't think you enough for that. It's early days for me but it's great to know it's possible to cone to terms with things,thanks again x

Hi

Sorry you are joining this exclusive club. As others have said your reaction is entirely normal given the circumstances. Be kind to yourself and allow time to process all this. 

I was in the same boat last December and was feeling very low. However, after a few months, I came to accept my situation and getting on living well with cancer treatments. I can honestly say mentally I feel the happiest since I was 15. By not having a future, we don’t have to worry about it anymore and can fully live in the present. 

Take care

Hi seashanty,  I know what you mean.  Last year I thought what is the point in buying Christmas presents if you might not even see Christmas.  I think it is a natural reaction (very scary).  This year we even went on holiday to Portugal which I didn't think was possible last year.  I feel quite content with my life at the moment.  We are all here for you.

Hi seashanty 

I felt the same way in august but it’s amazing how you dust yourself off and start living a new and whatever makes you happy day to day life,  keep your chin up you’ll start to feel better soon .
