Appointment friday

Hi, Bad days in the waiting period are normal. Gentle hugs coming your way. I’m not sure what your family want you to sort out but I’d say unless something is urgent or time sensitive it can wait., You need to deal with this in your way at your pace. Hang in there and imagine this lovely group just gathering round and holding you. Whatever happens on Friday you can deal with it, you’re not on your own xx

Hi Jackie, in my experience your family are right in that once you get started with treatment it is usually much easier than your imagination thinks it is going to be beforehand. I found once I gave myself over to the medical people I felt a lot better and could just trust them to take charge and it took the pressure off me. I also was carrying a considerable amount of extra "padding" and was type 2 diabetic with an umbilical hernia and the anaesthetist and consultant didn't seem in the least concerned. I had to have open surgery rather than the keyhole they planned because of very large fibroids, but despite the extra weight and diabetes I healed very well. I know it's all very scary but take comfort that although it's major surgery, it is also routine to our amazing medical staff. Sending hugs xx.

Dear Teddysmum

Fingers crossed for your appointment on Friday Jackie. Its totally understandable to be terrified, its not just the diagnosis but its the worry about staging and treatment and any side effects. Some breeze though treatment really well others struggle. The most important is don't be judgemental on yourself, its OK to be scared its OK to say i am doing ok its also alright to say i am having a bad day and you know its ok not to be ok . Its good to get things sorted and have some sort of plan of action in a way I think it helps people to cope with everything that's going on but one thing I was told was take each day as it comes. The ladies here are fantastic we have all been though it, or going though it and there is lots of knowledge and advice and understanding.

Sending you gentle hugs your way

Dear Gbear

many thanks for your kind words I’m just trying to be strong but also taking time to think things through 

I just hope and pray everything goes ok on Friday 

thank you Jackie xx

Hi Jackie,  processing this diagnosis takes time, and I'm sorry you too have joined our Club but now the journey begins.  The doctor's will plan your treatment for you and as the other ladies have said there is some relief when it starts because what we all want to do is to deal with the Cancer.  Take care and hugs Dawn x
