I got diagnosed in September. Thought I was doing well, didn’t know if I was actually ok or hadn’t come to terms with it, still don’t know how I actually feel. I think I feel fine, don’t know if it’s Sunk in yet. Started chemo! Feel nervous as I know it’s gonna be ruff. My friend had breast cancer and has passed at only 39 years old, my other friend has breast cancer and just been diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. It’s hard to try and stay positive. I already think it’s spread, can’t get scan’s. Anyone know how I can get a scan xxx

  • It’s a rollercoaster ride, and there are easier and harder times. It’s also very confronting when bad things happen to people we are close to. It makes our situation feel less secure. I found talking to Macmillan helpline useful when I wobbled. And eventually had some counselling at the end of treatment to try to accept all that had happened to me. If you have concerns you can call your breast cancer nurse who can refer you for counselling if you want it (there’s always a bit of a waiting list) and can advise you regarding scans.

     I am a Star Gazer, I always feel better when I look at the up at the Stars.It's those glimmers of hope they give you when they offer you twinkles of encouragement and beams of hope. Take heart. We're not the first, we won't be the last, and Cancer Treatments are becoming better & better as research evolves and creates better products.  

    ...Something to hold onto is 'hope' - in Medical Research & an incredible team of Beautiful Minds who are working tirelessly to bring hope to those afflicted by Cancer.


    “Hope...which is whispered from Pandora's box only after all the other plagues and sorrows had escaped, is the best and last of all things.

  • How are you doing now? I hope that you have been able to find the re-assurance and support that you need x

  • I like star and sky gazing. Started reading about the Violet Flame last night when I couldn't sleep. I know not everyone can believe in spiritual help esp if they have been hurt. It took me a long time to make peace with it. Hope and healing for all. X
