Hi @Cindi54  they are so tough in hospital after you come to, I don’t know that I was strong, I had no choice,  my hospital was amazing the nursing care exceptional  I do think you put a lot of pressure on yourself and your treatments, I’ve always been a day to day person and my cancer has proved that, never knowing what is was doing  Everyone so different,  I do feel there is less let down day to day than looking ahead to how bad or good it may be  take care  Jennifer  😘😘   ...

@scorpio2318, I just want to say my heart goes out to you both it must be so, so hard for you and your wife. Please try to get counseling ( together as its hard for you too) it will help her PTSD and worries, the unknown can be so scary, and please tell her to never give up hope,  and best not to look up stuff on Dr. Google as so much isn't true and also outdated, it just scares you. Stick to sites like this Cancer council ones,&  authentic ones. Wishing and hoping for the best outcome for your wife, just remember to never give up hope, & keep pushing as so much can be done now to help us all. Cindi xx ... View more

Hi @456Jack , I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, it's so unfair, so hard for you to know what to do. I had breast cancer last year but i was one of the lucky ones as they removed it all in time, but i just wanted to tell you I found so much help on the BCNA online forum, that's the breast Cancer Australia forum, so many on there that may have similar experiences so perhaps look there? This is also a great forum here but just think you may get more of what your looking for there. I wish you all the best and again I'm so sorry, you sound like such a caring daughter Cindi xxxx ...

Hi @Lilly1 ,   Oh my goodness , you poor thing, what a horrible experience for you.   I've had a few skin cancers removed, actually more than a few, as I love the beach and walking, but never had a skin cancer down there, must be extremely painful. So sorry.   But you have a good attitude and it WILL heal, I just want you to know I'm thinking of you.   Sending healing thoughts and hugs,   Cindi xx❤️ ... View more

Hi @Mary60 ,   I saw your post and am so sorry for you, that must've been scary, I just want to wish you luck and really hope the new dose and other drug are kinder to you.   I'm on a different chemo, but one of them in particular is quite horrible ,Carboplatin, the other not nice but tolerable, but will keep going .   Hope all goes well for you, hang in there.   Cindi xx ...

Hi @Leme23 ,   Oh I'm so sorry, how cruel that this has happened to one so young.   But your young age will help you, I know it's a shock, but it may NOT be as bad as you're assuming. When do you find out more? when do you see your specialist again?   There is so much advancement in care these days, try not to think the worst, I know it's terrifying but it may be very treatable so try to take a deep breath and realise this wont be a death sentence, you'll fight this and come out the other end just a stronger person, you WILL.   I had breast cancer last year ( beat that) then bladder/ureter cancer this year ( unrelated) and I'm beating it.   Be strong, ( for your little ones)  and once you have all the facts, follow what your team decides to beat this and you'll feel a bit better, knowing you're in the hands of experts.   Try NOT to read Dr Google as info is often wrong or out dated or just dodgy.   Ask as many questions as possible ( write them down) when you see your Oncologist.   I always find when you know where you stand you feel calmer. Information is so important ( from the specialists)   I'm so, so sorry this has happened to you, hope you can see your specialist or Oncologist soon, have you a date?   Sending a big hug,   Cindi xx ...

Hi @YelenaVSH ,   Oh I'm so sorry, you seem strong though to consider shaving your hair, that's a big step.   I had a friend last year on another forum ( BCNA online forum) the breast cancer forum Australia, and she did the same as you, shaving her hair, but she's through a tough chemo now and free of cancer and hair growing back fast, so maybe you'd like to also reach out there, so many women with breast cancer, so much support. You'll get through it, just try to think of the chemo as the "good poison", and trust in your team. Sending hugs, Cindi xx ... View more
