Thankyou Jules2 it is tough and doesnt get any easier after all these months. Your life just seems to be waiting on results week in week out . Ive had 8 pet scans and 13 ct scans and countless blood tests in 23 months. On a different not i hope DUNNC and GISTER that you are both doing well with your treatments. This cancer is so difficult to control . They think they've slowed it then something else happens anyway . All the best to you both and all the best to you Jules2 regards mark

7/3/13 it all started, waking up in the morning with my head locked to the left side without being able to straighten it and a painful shoulder & shortness of breath, I thought to myself “something is wrong,this is not right”. I go to the local GP to let them see if there is any reason why this is so.

Hello, I am a breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in October last year, and have gone through a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. During my chemotherapy treatment I wrote a book that I hoped would help and inspire others going through chemotherapy to approach things a little differently. Cheers Lynne

Its been a year since that conversation with my GP, when he told me the results of my ct scan. I could tell he hated having to tell me, and it was almost as though I tried to reassure him! I have to say that it took a long time for it all to sink in - how could this be happening to me, when I felt so fit and well. Even now it all seems so unreal at times. I try not to let it take over my life, but it is there in the back of my mind all the time. My husband also has cancer.
