This Christmas I will be.......

This came up on Twitter. I know it's very cheesily American, but it's still a beautiful sentiment. "I'm gonna love you through it" means a lot to me at the moment, as my friends have "loved me through" this year and I know they will continue to do so next year and beyond. This forum has also "loved me through it" and will continue to do so.

A new year 2019 wish for you all.

@vickidqld Sorry you're joining us. You'll find this network a huge support in the months to come. Don't hesitate to express your feelings and there will always be someone to respond.

No doubt you'll hear from one of the monitors giving you advice about using the forum. Best to start a new "discussion" of your own in the "Newly diagnosed" section. Then it will be ALL ABOUT YOU, which will be what you need.

I hope your consultation with the surgeon goes well today.  There'll be an overwhelming amount of information to take in. Hope someone is going with you. If not, ask if they mind if you record the meeting on your phone so you can check stuff later when you can't remember.

Take great care of yourself.

Hi all, I have never posted on a site like this before. I am newly diagnosed with breast cancer and will see my surgeon today with a surgery date of 18th january. I have a lot to learn! In the meantime we are spending Christmas with family in Airlie Beach, then we leave for a 13 night cruise to New Zealand, then a week long visit from the grandkids! There are many positive things happening for our family next year I just have a few hurdles to go through!
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

@arpie , you will have a lot to contend with. Before I was rudely robbed of my hair Valerie and I dressed up to go see the Ab Fab film with a group of girls  Whilst we were all enjoying dinner the movie had started  Valerie got the time wrong so i we all went and saw Bad Moms dressed like Ab Fab 

Thank you ladies. Don't worry I am extremely good at doing nothing. Dr said pull the chemo card out! 

@Stefanie - just sit back & direct all the hilarity!!  Yep, as @Sister suggests - pace yourself &  Let all the business go on around you - and just enjoy it all!!  xx

@Blondy - that sounds hilarious!   A bit like Ab Fab & their greetings!!  Moi!  Moi!!  

take care, xx

@Stephanie, I had my first one on Friday the 15th Dec last year. Being the first one I was over it by the following Thursday and had no trouble with Christmas. My husbands family are Anglo Indians and a LOT of pecking goes on on arrival and leaving  Some peck one side some both  It was hilarious until I got to know the oners and twosers. I go in for the second peck but they'd moved on. And then the twosers would go for the second but I'd moved on. Anyway there was no kissing last year or getting too near me. Worked a charm. Plan on having a good Christmas Stephanie  

You should be starting to feel a bit more with it by Christmas Day as long as you are able to rest when you need to!

@Stefanie Sit back and let everyone wait on you. I hope you end up having a few laughs. Hugs, Fran xox
