I am now a little more up to date on your circumstances. Sorry I didn't read your profile before. Where abouts do you live though for 45plus degrees? Must be central Australia somewhere. Ouch!

I don't envy you having to think about the mastectomy after your chemo - though I do urge you to think about it cos it may be the best way in the end to rid yourself of your cancer, especially from the lymph nodes. It does make a difference to your peace of mind and as you will have already suffered the chemo before hand, shouldn't be any more to go through - possibly not even the radiation thereapy.

I agree with you that the scarves would be the best way to go - definitely. The lighter they are, the better. You should learn how to wrap them on your head at the LGFB. You will be there before me - I am not booked into one til 26th this month.

I am sorry to hear about your darling hubby/partner. It is good that there is no treatment for him just yet, while you are going through yours. He will atleast get an idea of what may be ahead for him though, so it can't all be that bad. I also know what you mean about not being able to cope without him. Mine is my rock even though he is going through some heart issues right now and had a bad cold again - happens same time every year - he doesn't learn and get the flu vaccine yet either.

Yeah Sandy, we need support all the time in life - and right now - you can let off all the steam you want. it is great if you can get support from any or all of the wonderful ladies here. I can say so much to my partner and then I come here and let off some more. Cos he is living through it and trying to give me that balancing rock made of granite and steel - then I just need his shoulder to cry on.

But afterwards, I can come here and let off some more steam, or help someone out.

Take care and hope your troubles get lighter as you go.

Sandy
