New to this.....

Thanks everyone for your messages - it's really good to hear from others who have been through it and not had too bad a time of it! I'm pretty upbeat about everything at the mo - still in the 'safe zone' as I haven't started the chemo yet! My kids will be the perfect tonic to a bad day - they're little angels. I have told them that I'm going to need some strong medicine that will make my hair fall out....they're already planning to face paint my entire head when I'm bald! 

I do have great friends, a brilliant family and really like all the doctors and nurses I'm involved with so I'm very lucky but I don't always feel I can tell my friends everything - I hate crying in front of people so I have a good 'game face'. I can talk properly to my family but I don't want to burden them too much so I am really glad I came across this site....plus everyone understands the medical terms!
