    You know, it just dawned on me girls... I am so sorry, you are all in the same boat as me & here I am venting on you guys so as not to cause anxiety in the family, how perfectly horrid of me...

    Big Girl Panties on :) 

    Crumbs girl that's what we're here for - Family need to be protected from our real fears sometimes!   That is what we are here for, or at least that is my view, we can tolerate the venting as we get it!  It is wonderful that you've got offers coming in to be your buddy at the appointment.

    Hi Cate.  I know exactly how you feel.  I live near the northern hospital and I am more than happy to meet you and even just sit in the waiting room with you.  This disease is crap. I have just been through scans etc re my liver.  Happy to note that I have a couple of cysts and not much else.  I think half of this is in my head.  My back is killing me.  Had a clear bone scan in August.  Bloody hell.  Taking pain killers and not much sleep.  I have a wonderful G.P. but she suggested I get some counselling.  I don't want it.  I am not imagining the pain.  Just sick of it.  Please let me know Cate if you want me to come along.  Maybe we should have a Melbourne get together soon.  I would like that.

    Can I just say that I am so proud to be part of this forum.  Where else would you find so many selfless, genuine women caring for someone who needs a bit of support.  You are all amazing.  Cate, I am about 2000km from you but sending lots of positive thoughts and hopes that today went well for you.  Wonderful weekend to all. Jane xx

    Hi Kate , I know what it is like to be so anxious.  Sometimes when I see my oncologist and I'm feeling anxious thinking that it will be bad news, the reverse happens and its good news. Now after having mets for five years I am usually glad to find out results of scans and test even if the news is not always good. There is always treatment available . It just another challenge we all have to face and we seem to find the strength in the end.  Have you got a friend that can go with you. My husband usually comes with me as he is now retired., but when he was working I would ask a friend  or a family member. I read this once , :)  Always Remember
    You are braver than you believe, 
    Stronger than you seem,
    Smarter than you think,
    And twice as beautiful as you have ever imagined.
     Good luck you can do it .
