Just want to say hi and im glad i found you all. Im looking for some people who understand how im feeling. Pretending to be ok is exhausting and i want to be just me if i can, fears and all
I'm with you. I get my biopsy and scan results on Monday. Feeling sick with nerves.
Hi Lainey2 , welcome to the forum, definitely a place where you can be yourself and no need to pretend you’re ok. I think we’re so used to looking out for others and are worried that we’ll upset friends and family if we express our feelings, doubts, fears, whereas here you can pretty much say what you like! And know that you’re among people who ‘get it’. Hope you find it as supportive as I have…. I’m still rattling around the site 5 years since joining!
If you click on people’s usernames you can read their profiles (if they’ve filled them in - not compulsory but useful, I think) to see their particular situation. Love and hugs, HFxx
It is very scary but i found waiting was worse than knowing. My imagination was running riot. Big hug to keep you going
Thanks. I weary after my surgery, radio and hormone therapy. Life just feels grim and i need to find my joy again
Yes, I want to know but also don’t want to know. I'm frightened of chemo.
