Just saying hello

i told people it felt comfortable telling, i was waiting for more info totell my mom, but we knew something wasn't right, so ended up telling her early, but. that wasbefore i knew i had yo have chemo too, that was hard.

there is no right or wrong way, share as you feel comfortable. sorry you are here, there are too many of us hugs

Thank you for the reply - sharing on line has helped- one step at a time

Hi, I'm on a similar time scale to you - diagnosed middle of October, first surgery on 16th November. Then a two week wait for pathology results. One margin not clear so had second surgery last Thursday, 7th December. I am a self employed cleaner so have had to tell all my customers. The hardest thing was telling my two daughters who are 22 and 24. I'm the sort of person that prefers to talk about things so I've told most people I know. But yes, I am struggling to accept that this is happening to me. It still doesn't feel real. I get my next lot of results on the 22/12. Then 5 sessions of radio therapy and 5 years of hormone therapy. For me the worst thing at the moment is the thought of the hormone tablets and possible side effects, 5 years feels like a long time! Everyone that I've told has been very supportive - I've had meals, cakes and flowers brought round by friends, neighbours and customers, which has been wonderful. We just have to take things day by day. 

Hugs to you xx
