Hi ladies, nice to hear how you're all getting on. I took Sue's advice and now drink lots of water and eat a sandwich straight after treatment. Feel ok, maybe a little tired but it's been a busy week so it could just be that. Just finishing a coffee before I head off for number 6. Sending love and hugs xxx

Hi Ladies, I started my radiotherapy yesterday and it's been useful to read your posts. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm a bit surprised by my reaction so far as I felt exhausted yesterday after my first session. I'm thinking it's probably emotional. I find I'm lying there worrying about my position, not moving, how I'm breathing etc when I just need to chill! I'm hoping I'll get to grips with it as time goes on xxx

Thank you for your encouragement, it is so helpful to me and I shed a few tears but like you say, that's ok. I'm glad to hear everything's going well for you. Well, I told my children yesterday and there were a few more tears. The hardest thing I've ever done but glad I have. I'm 56 so they're grown up and living away from home now so two I had to tell over the phone. I fully understand how hard it must have been to tell your children at uni. Thank you again x

Thanks so much for your reply Naid. It's really helpful to hear your advice and what you focussed on when telling family as I will be doing this very soon. I'm so glad to hear that everything is going well for you. Many thanks for replying x

I went to the breast clinic yesterday, expecting another cyst but was told it's cancer and I'm looking at some kind of operation plus follow up depending on the results. Such a shock and I don't know how to feel or be. My husband knows and I've told two friends but the difficult one will be telling my children and parents. The thought makes me tearful but I need to be positive for them. Then there's the wait for biopsy results so I don't really know what I'm dealing with yet. I feel sick to my stomach but trying to do normal things. Sending a hug to anyone else in the same boat.
