Anti-werewolf pep talk?

I'm sorry to hear of your loss @iserbrown. You take care too. x 

You're welcome!  Please keep engaging with us. The news of Connie is extremely sad. She certainly raised the awareness. I know I have been teary reading her story. Once again this week I have a funeral to attend; another cancer victim. Reading the obituaries sent me into teary mode. It's a so and so that is hard to accept. 
Take care x

Thanks so much @iserbrown and @Romla, I appreciate your kind words. I just realised that the death of Connie from Love your sister has made me feel quite low tonight. @iserbrown I hope your treatment is going well. @Romla I'm having a bit of a cry as I type this, but I feel better. x 

@LucyE No probs.  Your just being honest.  If I want to worry about something - literally there are hundreds of things to choose from, quite aside from cancer, there's weird, fat little men trying to blow up the world and - maybe climate change will get us first - if the Caribbean is anything to go by!  
But seriously, waiting for tests - is the worst - especially over a weekend (all my first tests seemed to be done that way!).  Don't feel that you must be cheerful - or not be on here.  There are plenty of ladies that have rants on here and nobody judges them, because sometimes that's just what we need to do.  

The BIG challenge with breast cancer is living with the unknown.  I don't know for sure if I really am okay (my surgeon would slap me for saying that) but it's true.  I don't know what will happen, whether I'll stay clear for 3 months, 3 years or 30 years. None of us know that for sure.  
I've decided I won't try and be 'fear free' - I'll let it be - but not let it tell me what to do.  The fear is a handy 'but-kicker' that reminds me to focus on what is really important - and on what I really need.  It will also get me outside exercising when I don't feel like it.  So it has benefits.  Maybe some people don't need that motivation - I do!  
I can't fix anything for you our even help you feel better.  I just hope that by relating - where I can - you feel a bit less alone.  XXOO take care of yourself and enjoy the much improved weather tomorrow!   :)

@LucyE
Please don't feel isolated and that you think you are scaring us with your story.
We all have a story to tell. Some more involved than others.
For me I have thickening of the endometrial lining.  Tamoxifen induced. I'm under a Gynecology oncologist and being monitored. 
For all of us it's awareness and what to look for.
I hope treatment is being kind to you. Take care x

Everyone of us gets down and we all worry - you are not alone - probably what's good is we can say things here and get a hearing that we may not be able to elsewhere

It's ok@LucyE you are among friends please don't ever think you can't come on if you're down - that's probably when you need us most . What's good is sharing problems maybe even coming up with some ideas to help - it makes things a lot easier . You are always welcome. XO

Thanks @CellyK, I shouldn't scare women with my story. I'm doing ok. I've tried to stay off this network because I'm at the point where I don't have much that's positive to contribute. You are doing really well and that's what it's all about - staying well and focusing on the positives. I'm just waiting on some tests so I'm probably a bit down. I know a lot of women take Tamoxifen for a long time and do well. I'm really sorry if I worried you. x

@LucyE - Ah yes, I just saw one of your previous posts where you mention the endometrial hyperplasia.  My surgeon was straightforward about the increased risk of uterine cancer - but put it in perspective.  Although it happened to you, it's super rare.  
I told her about my cramps, but she said they'd probably settle - and they did.  We have follow up scans planned (just in general - not because of cramps). 
I hope you got the support and treatment you needed with the pre-cancerous changes you experienced.  That would have been a scary downer.  It sounds like they picked it up early.   Are you okay now?  I take it you had to change therapies?

Just have regular check ups with your gynaecologist. Wasn't trying to be mysterious, sorry. The changes are hidden. That's why they are so scary. Just don't want another woman to be in the same boat I'm in now. Good luck with everything. I shouldn't have commented.
