Hi Fiona,
We will be here to support you when things are closing in and you need to let it out - sending you a big cyber hug for what you are going through. Try to take everything one day at a time and not look too far ahead - we have all learned that taking one step at a time makes this journey more manageable. So good that you have a loving and supportive family, and I do hope that your son continues to do well. You will get through this. We find the strength from somewhere to do what we need to do, and so will you. In 2012 I had a double mastectomy, chemo, radiotherapy, and a hysterectomy, and now 2 years later I feel strong again and able to live my new normal with energy and strength again. Do let us know how you are going and all the very best for your node biopsy. Remember, one step at a time. Things are going to get very busy, so buy a good notebook for listing appointments. symptoms, questions - it will start to fill up quickly. Thinking of you and sending lots of support. Michelle xxxx
