    There is damn all I can say to contradict statistics, but I can tell you A&L have a 99% customer satisfaction rate!

    Statistics cannot account for positivity and inner strength and when I worked in a hospice, I saw miracles, of varying degree's, every day

    If there is a woman to beat stats, I think you are the ONE! And I am 100% about that!

    Hi Taxi, I'm so glad you've got your appointment, next week not long. If your Dh or one off your children are around ask they to go with you. Their maybe a lot of information given to you and you come out not knowing what just been said/decided/agreed. Cancers had occured in my family in the past, and early nagging of health services is a good ideal. Keep going and take plenty of rest.

    Thanks RMC...I was really positive until getting those results and my emotions are so up and down since then.How do I put it all to the back of my mind it's scary now or perhaps it's just hitting me now...i don't know.

    You can't put it to the back of your mind, its right there in the front and is effecting everything you do!

    You can tell it to F*** off, and you are not giving up or giving in....................it is very scary but like all scary things, we have to stand up to them and that is very very hard and scary in itself.

    But you have to allow yourself a chance to absorb what has happened and then take a breath for a few days, absorb what has happened and then, when you have strength, fight all the negative feelings that cancer brings and that in itself is exhausting, never mind the physical affects of your illness.

    The strength you have to take from anywhere, and everyone. Your family, your friends, us crazy chicks, hollistic therapies, counsellors, your faith...........anything!

    BUT YOU WILL GET THERE. I KNOW THAT FOR SURE

    The triple negative was a bigger shock than being told I have cancer.

    Just need to absorb it as you say and you are right I won't give in.

    Yes I am sure it was, because its a HUGE thing to be told and it takes time to absorb and tiredness exasperbates every emotion and emotions are tiring, catch 22!

    You just have to wrap yourself in all the love around you, take cover for a while

    Oh burger...I'm so sorry these results have knocked you for six Hun.

    Lots of hugs and whiskery piggie kisses heading your way

    I have sent you a reply on my thread.

    All I can say is in Jan my family member was given "6 months" based on the "grading" and "results" - but as of last month she now has now got the "all clear".......

    The "policy" seems to be give the worst news not the best...now you, my dear TAxi, are a fighter and won;t take this lying down ....so you might need to challenge them on this last bit of news - after all as others have also pointed out - it hasn't yet spread.

    Hugs Hun........Let's talk.......stay strong.......we're all walking with you on this journey...and BTW.....ahem, excuse me lady........but your bed for The Rave Mk 2 in 2011 is already reserved for you ;)
