Hey @Sister welcome aboard our creaky little boat. Most of us start out literally paddling for our lives which is absolutely exhausting. On any day there will be a couple in danger of falling overboard, there will be robust discussions about navigation and someone will be asleep in the hammock. Excuse the nautical references, I have no idea where that came from. Never mind. Welcome anyway.
I've had a history of being in the middle of some cancer catastrophe or other over Xmas on a couple of occasions. You'd think I would have learned not to do that, but apparently not. You' will muddle through somehow, we all have. Reluctantly, sometimes, but what else can you do?
Good luck with the scans and surgery. I've got lobular BC as well, it's a shit of a thing.
Be kind to yourself. Marg. Xx
