I wrote before of my lovely friend who was diagnosed with BC a week or so after you. Her cancer has spread to the nodes. Her treatment has also started. She has gone straight for radiotherapy and declined chemotherapy. She is very tired. She is being pragmatic, she is also trying to maintain a sense of humour... but sometimes she's just trying to remember who she is outside the illness.
I'm glad you have close family to give your help, support, love. My friend from schooldays with BC is not as fortunate in that respect.
Go gently.
Gosh you've loads around you with this dreadful illness..you must be very tired dealing with the emotions of it all...please look after yourself.0 -
HI EVERYONE,
Thanks for all the well wishes etc...am feeling a bit better now and may even attempt to go out of the house tomorrow or monday.

You'll all be pleased to know that I have quit the cigs ....I went cold turkey and haven't had one for a week now...they were making me feel sick...so just decided not to smoke anymore and just slept through my sleepy phase...
