Waiting for Monday

Have my first appointment at Peter Mac on Monday... Really thought I was traveling okay but am feeling so extremely anxious. Really I just want to be told that I am treatable & hopefully this is recoverable from... I have never felt like this before & the uncertainty of what is ahead is so terribly frightening.

  • Hi Daina Results weren't great, 9mm tumor in node, had to go back in for dissection and more margin. That went well, good result, no more nodes involved. Chemo starts next week providing the seroma behaves itself. pretty nervous, trying to stay positive Thanks for checking in :-)

  • Hi Michelle, Yes have received the My Journey Kit & have read quite a bit of it. I know from just being on here I am not alone which I do find very comforting at this stage. As you say once Monday has come I will have an idea as to where I am going. You have a lovely Mothers Day too x
  • The waiting is always the worst part and we understand how you are feeling. Once you have been to Peter Mac and have a program mapped out, you will feel more in control. Do you have a My Journey kit yet from this site? It is so helpful, and you will have something to hold on to when you read all the information. You are not alone on this journey. We all understand just how you are feeling right now. If you read the blogs you will find a lot of comfort and support. Stay busy and enjoy Mothers Day. Sending you a big hug,

    Michelle x

  • Thank you Donna, I am going to really do my best to enjoy this weekend & your messages mean so much to me at this time too. Enjoy your Mothers Day too xx
