Breast Cancer Now Forum

Thankyou, 💖 It's a mixture of everything really, all that i've read/heard etc.. but mainly it's just the unknown, Ive had a long time to get used to all my health problems, they've crept up on me slowly over years... i.e weight gain, blood pressure, asthma, All things i can do something about myself, and last year i did do something! After 20 years of yoyo dieting i went through the tough decision to have weight loss surgery! It was solely to prelong my life expectancy for my son. I didn't want to leave him early without a mum, Now this! It's sods law!! but i have had some time to get used to it and I'm going to stay positive as much as i can and do whatever the doctors say to beat this little moster. I want to see my son grow up and I'll be damned if i let this beat me now!   I don't visit this site often but when i need it it's been there the remind me that it's not the end of the world, thank you for being here. I'll let you know how surgery goes and I will definitely be back to get chemo advice!! xxxxxxxxx ... View more

Thank you, Surgery is this monday 24th I'm looking forward to it in a weird way, Ust want the evil out of me!! It's a Lumpectomy and they said should go home same day if all goes well!! Chemo terrifies me as it sounds like such a severe change that I can't hide from people, I just want to be well again, I feel like I've been wasting my life, so far and haven't done anything with it!!  x ...

Hi, I am looking forward to Monday like you wouldn't believe! I just want it OUT!!! it's the waiting that's doing my head in more than anything, Once it's out of me i can work on my next steps which are going to be tough, waiting again for lymph results... then waiting again for chemo... then waiting for my hair to come out... then waiting for radio... waiting for all clear or not... Did i mention I'm not good at waiting! 😂😭 ... View more

Thankyou thankyou! I really need to hear positive stuff! All I've been doing is looking at statistics and diet foods!! I'm going crazy!!! I will try and keep positive as long as i can. x ... View more

Thank you so much! It really helps to know people survive for real and it's not just statistics, It's been the worst 3 weeks of my life just waiting!!! I'm still finding it hard to eat but I'm trying, my husband has to come to work with me everyday to sit with me (I'm self employed and he's studying so it's possible luckily) I couldn't cope without him. I will keep coming back here too, It's good to hear strong positive women who have fought and won. Xxx ... View more

Thank you, My appointment cant be speeded up, I was told in no uncertain terms so i will have to hang on, I can't eat and have nit really slept either, I'm finding it hard to hide it from people, I'm in tears all the time, I really dont want to upset my hubby and son I need them to be strong but I'm upsetting everyone i talk to. Thank you for you reply, I need positive vibes so it's good to talk. xxx ... View more

It's hell, I'm a mess, I can barely talk or eat,  I am finding it really hard not to think i have no time left to live. I'm also 1 year post weight loss surgery which means I have limited eating now but i can hardly eat at all! I've lost half a stone since my appointment ( 6 days ago), They told me at Cheltenham breast clinic that on NO account can my appointment be changed as the results will NOT be in any earlier, I really hope its good news but by the way everyone was talking i think not. I am trying to be positive but it's my worst nightmare! I only had weight loss surgery so i could live longer for my son. Life is tough and unfair.  Thank you for you encouraging words though. xxx ... View more
