I want this thing out of me now!

Thank you Deb for your reply.

You really are amazing, you are just out of hospital after  a mastectomy  and a hysterectomy and your still coming to terms with everything yourself but yet you offer this support to myself and others. There really are some beautiful people in this world. Thank you Debbie, I hope i can  get to be in a better state of mind like yourself and not let this Cancer rule my life like it is at the moment.

I did ordered the journal kit on the day i found out.  (15th July) but it hasn't arrived yet.

Appreciate the the tip on the PJ's . I would not have even thought of that.  I have suffered from major  depression from pain for about ten years now and are on pretty high medication. I don't know how i will go if i have to go off my meds for treatment ? Ideally  I would love to come of them but i guess this is not really the right  time.

I looked up to see about Jane McGrath breast  nurses over here in Perth and in my area. There is one so i will consider contacting her. I just feel i am being a little selfish if i approached anyone for help before i have even started treatment.  I maybe taking the care nurse away from someone who needs her more . I don't know.

Debbie i hope you are feeling ok and i hope everything goes well for you from now on. I really do appreciate the chat. I do think your a brave lady, all the best.

Believe it or not you are having completely normal reactions.We have all felt what you are feeling now.You are still in the shock/disbelief stage.You have to keep reminding yourself in the morning that it's not a bad dream but real.The waiting around is what does your head in.The first time I had breast cancer(2003)I had visions of the cancer racing through my body while I waited for surgery.I was sick to the pit of my stomach and I just wanted it out of me quickly. I feel for you having to wait till 11th august and I would suggest you ring your surgeon and put pressure on to see him sooner.Maybe you'll get in on a cancellation.In the meantime keep yourself REALLY busy -a glass of red at night helps.Try not to think the worst because you are more than likely going to be ok.I got cancer back in the same spot,same breast 7 years later.So last year I had a mastectomy and chemo.Back in 2003 I had a lumpectomy,full node clearance and radiation.So I've become an "expert" on all the treatments.I'm fine now and I wear a prosthesis.Once you have a plan and a surgery date you will go into "battle"mode and you will feel abit better than you are feeling now.Jump on here anytime -always nice ladies to talk to.We all support each other and collectively,we make up one very intelligent brain.

Hi Jo, you are so normal we all have these feelings of doubt and why me. the first initial diagnosis is just a blur with medical jargon. the only word that seems to stay in your head is i have cancer.

 you will have good days and bad days but as time goes on it seems to get easier somehow.      tho there are still ups and downs.Ive had surgery chemo and just finished radiation. each stage was scarey but as i look back now i made it, the best way i could.

 I was scared of this site at first but its a fantastic link to others going through exactly the same fears and doubts and we can all be a power of strenght for each other.

I know you must be scared waiting for results and to see the surgeon and im sorry to say there is a lot of waiting.But cry all you need to yell, scream, whinge,sook , but remember to laugh and love.

 there are so many of us out there that are going through what you are you are not alone. take care sending lots of good vibes your way annie xx
