Hi Back in May 2012 I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, folowing the diagnosis I had a whipples procedure and after a two month break I had six months of chemo. In the middle of January I was given the all clear. I know I have a long way to go to become a long term survivor, but I know Im in a lot better place now than I was last May.

Hi everyone! My husband passed away from con cancer in 2012.. I used to religiously use this site and it helped me through some of the most darkest times! After my husband died i struggled for a very long time. His family were just awful to me (more than usual) so I've cut them out of my life. His father didn't mention me in his eulogy.. Nice huh? I wasn't invited in the funeral car, thought of or anything! His family completely took over! I ended up in hospital the day after he died due to stress. My body was literally fighting me! I had nothing left.

Hi its a long time since my last blog as things were staying the same but now things have changed.. Daz went to the hospital today and I wish I had of gone with him. His blood pressure is very high and I would have liked to hear what the doctor told him to do about it. He often doesn't tell me everything and prefers to not know test results and things. Not sure why but he says it makes no difference knowing results. When I asked why he told me he is worried they are bad news.

Hi there, I have never done this before but am really struggling. I'm not ever sure if this is the right place to ask? Here goes... I have had Breast Cancer 3 times with the last time I had a Double Mastectomy in 2011. This Cancer was Oestrogen Positive. because of this I can't take HRT. I am now going through Menopause and struggling with severe sweats, chills and just not coping at all. My Doctor has tried all kinds of medication and nothing helped. I am now trying Acupuncture but still not having much luck.

I first found a lump in my right breast just over 3 years ago and after seeing a specialist, I had a ultra sound and had a biopsy, which stuffed me financially as I had to pay full fee for biopsy as medicare stuffed up and would not refund me,and I was out of work and struggling to live day to day, as I had just broken up with my husband. This lump was found to be benign and I was glad.
