Found out 9 days ago and my first reaction … **bleep**… **bleep**. Cried all the way home, then think I went numb. Have told my babies 15, 21 and 23 years old (girls)and there support is overwhelming. I see the Consultant on Tuesday and MRI Friday. I just want a hug and it all to go away. Have a wonderful partner who tells me he loves me shows me he loves me but I feel so !!! Maybe I am trying to hard coz I just want to curl up and cry x
My heart goes out to you. Try and remember:-
You have the love and support of your family and friends…you find out how truly loved you are.
In spite of what you read in the news papers you will have a brilliant team of people working to make you better. I had stage III cancer, but the fantastic team of experts who have treated me have got rid of the cancer.
I know it is early days but remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there is an army of people routing for you, me included.
Good luck with your journey.
sending you love and hugs?
Hi Trisha, so sorry you have found yourself in this club that nobody wants to be a member of, it is overwhelming when first told, cry all you want and accept the support of loved ones.
I was diagnosed last June and have now completed all active treatment, plase don’t Google,the BCC and Macmillans are the only sites I used, take someone with you to appointments, write things down and alwys ask for furthe explanation if you are unsure of anything.
It can seem like a rollercoaster that you cannot get off but the more you are informed the better, thee is a forum on here for ladies just diagnosed which will be helpful, good luck for next week
Hugs
Mary x
