    Nothing I can add, as it has all been said so wonderfully.

    Having cancer is horrendous, the world knowing you have cancer must be even harder (it would be for me) so I think 'feeling sorry for yourself' is very normal and expected.

    You have been so incredibly strong this last while.....................take a breather, wallow and see what tomorrow brings

    Lots of love x

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said, but you are allowed to feel down sometimes, and you need to look after yourself - you're the number one priority here. Chin up, you're amazing xx

    Hi everyone...not long up...lazy moo that I am.
    Thanks for all the lovely posts...they really do help me.Milann summed up pefrectly how I feel as did a few others.
    I will have a shower later and wash my hair and then see if there are any bald spots and if there is I'll shave it off and start wearing my wig.It feels a lot thinner at the moment.

    Have just transferred £14 over to my savings and am hoping to hit £20k in savings by end of month.

    Just to let you all know....I've had DH shave my head on a no2 as my hair was coming out by the handful...

    have had a lovely tea of salmon,new potatoes,peas,sweetcorn and cheese sauce...we had the same yesterday as well...all was organic except the cheese sauce.

    Tomorrow is organic pork and buttery leek sausages,organic mash and organic beans ...so am looking forward to that as well...lol

    Hi Taxi,

    Sorry to hear about your hair - it must've been hard to have it all shaved off. Sending you lots of love and wishing you strength to keep on fighting.

    I remember another poster suggested that you think of it as another way of getting the cancer out of you.

    A colleague of mine had BC and she has gone on to do really well. I bumped into her following her check up the other day and she was a picture of health. I'm hoping the same for you as you come out on the other side!

    Lots of love

    Urg x x
