Hello. I remember waiting for my diagnosis of a biopsy earlier this year. It was a time of huge anxiety and fear even tho I tried to just wait for the diagnosis I would just fall apart. My husband would just sit with me, lie with me or we would walk together. He just let me be real with my emotions and that was good because I couldn’t be positive a lot of the time. I hope and pray that the surgeon is right and there’s no cancer. 💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi Ian, such a beautiful story of love for your wife Mary. It reminds me of my husbands care for me during my chemo for lymphoma. He said he would be with me every step of the treatment and he was, even fasting when I had to fast. I’m so glad the docs have controlled the pain and nausea for your Mary. Lots of love and prayers to you both. It’s not over til it’s over. Xx Linda G  ... View more

Hi Monatiwari, so sorry to read your story.  Yes nothing is the same after cancer. I just hope and pray that you will eventually adjust to your new life and that you will have new people come into your life who will care about you just the way you are. No matter what you look like you are still special 💕. LindaG  ... View more

Hi Meg, maybe see a different GP for a second opinion.  Usually the ultra sound is pretty accurate at seeing if the lymph node is suspicious.  It’s totally normal to be worried about a lump and a second opinion should hopefully give you some reassurance. Best wishes 💜 LindaG  ... View more

Hi Lena, so sorry that you’re feeling so alone. Make sure you ring the cancer Council for support if you have no one else to talk to. Yes I too look at my new head always covered with a turban and can’t imagine looking like I used to. Just try and  take one day at a time and hopefully life will get better soon. 💜 Linda G ...

Hi Cam, sorry that your dad is so unwell. The docs can only give you an estimate of how much longer your dad has. My mum died last year, not cancer, but we had to stop all treatment and just do palliative care. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The only positive was I got to say all that I needed to say in those last days. So just be with him as much as you can and say all that you want to tell him.  It’s just so hard but somehow you will find the courage to get through this time. 💜 Linda G ... View more
