I've been strong that's what everyone says, but I'm so scared.
I had a mastectomy in 2018 followed by chemo radio in 2019 purely preventative ...but then it came back spread in 2020. I was told terminal. 4-5 yrs
I'm so alone...my husband left during chemo, my son's are at uni.
You’re definitely allowed a wobble. There’s always someone on here to lend an ear or offer support, although I know it’s not the same as having someone close. X
I’m so sorry you’ve had this dreadful experience and then this awful outcome. Sometimes you just want to rage at the unfairness of it all. I understand why you feel so alone. Do you have a good friend around you? Are you close to your sons? I’m alone with my daughter too, she’s 12, it is hard work doing it all without a partner xx
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
