JbHi Realshannon

Hi Tara, just tell yourself, you have got this. Everything is being looked at and analysed, you are on their radar. It's amazing what can be done. I found it helped me most days to tell myself i was a survivor. Sending big hug and a big pile of positivity and strength x

I mis read one of your posts. Yes, I still get short of breath but you get used to it and learn to breathe more deeply. If you need to, stop, take a big deep breath and carry on. It gets better but you have to work at it. I was given a spirometer which after surgery I used religiously daily and that really helps. 

Thank you Shannon for your kind words, I’m truly terrified thinking of what lies ahead of me. I’m surfing through stories  some positive others a nightmare. Your story gives gives me encouragement.

Hope you continue on your positive path and things get even better in the future for you. You’ve been so strong .

Please keep your news up wishing you all the very very best.

Tara

I think we all, at some stage, surf the net and probably read too much. I got confused with it all so decided to stick to this site and Cancer Research site. Not only do you get a UK view the information is relevant. Again, don't know if I was just lucky but the oncology nurse assigned to me has been excellent, she was reassuring and very knowledgeable when I needed her.
