Hi Allicat, It is a shame that u had cancer at a young age if this is right for me to say this to u. I could say to u that treatment and surgery is over that we are still here. I would say that the emotional side of things are traumatic even after the second ani but not as much as the 1st one. I am trying to get used "to my friend" (my falsie breast) as my counseling put it. It is a kelo in weight. I don't wear it if I don't want too as it has been off me all day with no bra. I want to rest from it. Trying to get used of the weighty falsie as it drives me up the wall. Having no weight till I put it on me then I lose the weight when I take it off. I makes no sense of having a falsie when u want your natural ones on u. Glenys xx ... View more

Hi Carmel, I am going through my second ani where I had 2 lots of surgery and my story is on line if u want to have a peep. I was diagnosed in 2010 with breast cancer on the right side. I know what u are going through. I didn't have a recontruction then I didn't have kemo or radiation also. I think myself that I am cancer free. Then Rowan please hang in there as it is so strongly emotional. If u haven't had a recontruction like me I know what it is like for u. Yes it is so unlucky to get cancer. Glenys xx ... View more

Hi Allicat, I am coping the best way thinking about the recurrence that I may have. I would hate it to happen again to have my other breast off. This is what is on my mind a lot. I am seeing the surgeon on the 2nd of Oct about my knee hoping I can get out of surgury. I ware patches for pain relief. Just come from the GP tonight and having a general blood test tomorrow. I hope you can get this message before you leave for America as I will miss your commnication and I want u to answer me. I hope u have a great time with your sister. I am glad u like the book also. The 4th chapter is a long one all about cancer recurrences. The last chapter is a good one to read. It's good to relax with the book. Again have a great time with your sister as both of you need a lot of catching up to do. Glenys xx ... View more

Hi Wombat, Nothing can take away the love that u have for your wife Wombat. Cancer took her but love didn't. I am glad you have said that Wombat. My husband Colin and I have been married for 38 years on the second day of spring just recently. Married in 1974. You must have been greatly disappointed about the retirement ending then she having cancer 11 months later. I recon u still are greatly disappointed and miss her terribly after 9 months. I reconise this Wombat. Glenys xx ... View more

Hi Pamela, I am a religous person myself and the Book the Bible is the best book. God healed me through this experience with breast cancer. Sometimes words are hard to say when people who are suffering or going through a hard time. This person who is going through a hard time she is really strong and careful I think. I can't imagine going through it the second time. God gives us comfort to give to others as He promised to do so. I am a SDA Glenys xxx ... View more

Hi Jodielee12, Is she out of hospital now? How is she? It must be terrible for you to have a sister in hospital like this. Why would she push u away after being in hospital for 2 weeks. She needs u as I would be there. She doesn't want u to see her like this. Just jump into the car and go. It must have been turture for u. Glenys x ... View more

Hi Silly, If you had breast cancer you would'nt think it goes with negative feelings as what kind of diagnoses is that when you have surgery. We go through that kind of diagnoses and hate the experience. I hated it. Having a diagnoses like that isn't fun and going to threatre is the same way. No woman would line up for this. I feel that we can't push our beloved breast away as that would be hurtful to us. To be comforting to you we mentally cuddle our breast that we lost and not have it on our back to ignore the breast like cuddling a baby. Glenys xx ... View more

Hi Janine, I agree with what is said here (on this part of the site) for you as both of you need each other as both of you don't deserve this at all. Both of you are walking a hard life so you need all of us on this site. support each other as best you can as my prayers are with you. I can't imagine going through it the second time. I would like to sympathise with you all. I would feel selfish if I let you know what I had to go through as it's on the site. Keep looking up and keep positive with it. Your friend Glenys. xx ...
