One year today

Oh no Steph, so sorry to hear about your daughter, but I’m glad she has a positive approach, this cancer business has really gone out of control, this year apart from me I have had a friend with breast cancer, lost one to liver cancer and a couple of days ago another friend has been diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer that has spread to her lungs, what on earth is going on!!!!! Good luck to you daughter going forward, I hope time goes quickly and she is all sorted before you know it....big hugs to her..... as for you, great news, one year on and doing well wahoo,you have come so far stef and done so well, I’m so pleased for you, xxx

Sorry to hear that your daughter has to go though cancer too and I am glad to hear of good outlook for her and her positive atiude will help hysteria53.

But congratulations on your first anniversary and everything being great, this is wonderful news indeed.

To you both

I’m so sorry to hear that your daughter is going through cancer too. Hugs. 

Good news about you though :-) 

Take care x

I'm so sorry to hear about your Daughter having to go through treatment for cancer.

Your right this cancer is getting out of control.  It's  bad enough one family member is going through it never mind 2. My dad is having to have his voicebox out because of it. 

Sending big hugs.  X

Big hugs to you and your daughter, xxxxx

Hi Steph, Grest to hear you’re feeling so well one year on. The regular check ups can make us anxious but at least they’re keeping a good eye on us. I’m very sorry to hear about your daughter. It’s good that she is being positive, I’m sure a positive attitude helps enormously. Gentle hugs to you both. I know the weeks ahead will be hard as your daughter goes through all her treatment but I hope that all will go well for her and that at the end you’ll both be smiling xx

Hi Steph,

im so sorry to hear about your daughters diagnosis, the breast group here is really fab if she is looking for advice and tips, I think they have a specific group for younger women too.

im glad that everything is going well for you.

lots of love

Hi Steph and Arla,

When my daughter had breast cancer 6 years ago she was on these forums and made friends with a group of women all going through chemotherapy. They still meet up twice a year, which I think is lovely.

hanks everyone for your replies and your love and concern for my daughter. I have told her about this community and how much it has meant to me. However she has a different approach. She's taking what her surgeon and the breast care team say and advice. But she has hardly looked at all the bumph she's been given and certainly isn't googling or searching for information. I wish I could have been like her. She's taking it one day at a time and is very together and pragmatic. Being the Yorkshire lass she is, her approach is 'be reyt'. I cant tell you how proud I am of her. So at the moment the community isn't for her. If that changes as time goes on, I'll remind her of the support available. Xxxx

To be honest Steph if that is her attitude and a brilliant one at that, I think she is best doing just as she is, accepting it, coping with it and dealing with it, my friend who recently had breast cancer was exactly the same, maybe Cos she is younger 35, I just think sometimes I dealt with things a lot better  when younger  than I do now, and if they can do it that’s is the best way, no disrespect meant at all with what I am about to say but sometimes you can hear and read such sad stories on here that it can make you feel more scared and paranoid, that is meant in the nicest way and I hope the ladies know what I mean, for me and you it’s been the best thing for us, but I can imagine it could be equally damaging to another, while your daughter has a good positive approach why complicate things, besides she has a lovely mum who will always have her back behind the scenes xx big hugs to you both cx
