Just wanted to say "hi" , I have put off doing s because that would make it real, that I had cancer..... silly I know. But here I am, 1 week post surgery..... I can't stop crying. It all happens so fast.
Hi Northernpink198a90 and welcome to the forum. It’s a club that none of us would have chosen to join, but a great place for support and shared experiences. I must think so as I’ve been rattling around the site for nearly 7 years! I didn’t post anything until after my surgery, but was ‘lurking’ in the background until I plucked up the courage to start a thread. Sorry you’re feeling tearful but it’s a very natural reaction. Getting a cancer diagnosis is very scary, and I remember feeling very vulnerable post op. I put the Hopi quote re crying as my ‘signature’ here as I actually found it quite hard at first to cry about my diagnosis - I think I was in a sort of shocked survival mode. But I do think it helped me to have a cry and admit that I was really scared. You can read people’s ‘stories’ in their profile by clicking on the username. It’s optional but I think useful as you don’t need to repeat stuff in posts. Sending love and a big virtual hug, HFxx

Don’t be afraid to cry. It will free your mind of sorrowful thoughts. – Hopi
