New to this

Hello again Sue - no you are not being nosey, that's what we are all here for, to be your sounding board so to speak.  In time as you are settled in to your own journey you may feel you are able to do the same for others.

No, my nodes weren't affected.   The cancer was contained in the breast - another six months and it would have been a different story. 

My positive thinking isn't living in a world where everything is rosey, more like knowing what what you have and using the knowledge you have (My Journey Kit etc) to stay in a positive mind frame.  You can't stop the depression creeping in and the "what if's" buzzing around in your head no matter how hard you try.  Personally I found that once I recognized and was able to say - "yes, I am depressed and scared" then the "black dog"  fell off my back and I got on with life.  Going to Melbourne in August for the Community Training helped me so much.  I heard so many different stories from the other women who were there and I feel as if I have made friends for life.

It''s great that you will have your hubby with you this afternoon ... you really need support close to home - who else will you wake up at 3am to listen to your fears and dry your tears?  We would if we could  but can't send you the tissues from this far away.

You take care  ...... we'll talk later

Cheers ... Shirl xx
