OMG

Hi ChrIs  am so sorry that you had to go through all that!!! but it sounds like you are through the worst.......well done!!!!

i am a single parent and struggling to try and keep positive for my kids, I am VERY lucky in so many ways but just so scared of the big surgery awaiting me monday, great team working on me tho......also worried about my poor kids as they have been through so much in last 6 years since my ex husband moved on to new pastures (he is now on his 3rd pasture!), however, credit where its due he is coming to stay with girls whilst i am in hospital for a weeek, so that is good. 

ironically i did a short chemo course last year and loved the aspect of helping people and being there for them, i am a nurse and find it really hard to take help, much prefer to give it...even when i am a patient i want to help the nurses.........ah well.....part of my makeup, people have been amazing, old friends, new friends, acquaintances are popping out of the woodwork, its inspiring in itself.....

i hope your implants are going well!!! thanks for you kind message love kerry.xx

Welcome to this site- your blog got through. So sorry to hear about your bc diagnosis.It's like getting caught up in a twister,you just get carried along. Head spinning is also a good term to describe it. Keep yourself really busy from now until Monday- clean cupboards,pack the freezer etc. If you haven't got them then shop for pjs that button down the front.They make it easier for drips and drains and also your arm might be sore.It's normal to feel scared.I was sooo anxious they had to give me something to calm me down before I even got to theatre-  it helped.Blog here anytime  for info and support.We know how you are feeling as we have either been through it all or are still going through treatments.We all help each other here.

Hi Kezzababe, welcome to this site. Sorry to hear your plight. We have all been there and done that, so hopefully we can give you lots of support and advice. I am 15 months since diagnosis, and now am coming out the other end. I have had 5 surgeries, ( that is a lumpectomy, mastectomy, another mastectomy, insertion of tissue expanders, and finally insertion of 2 permanent silicone implants only about 5 weeks ago.). I have also had 4 cycles of chemo, lost my hair, regrown my hair, and feel really good now. Still on mediaction for several more years, ( femara), but otherwise doing well. I'm sure you can't see a light at the end of the tunnel yet, but believe me, it is there, and you will get there sooner than you think. Please feel free to come on here and rant and rave or cry or whinge. We are here to support each other. All the best with your surgery next week. Love Chris xxx
