Hi Crush, yes cancer comes as a surprise. So glad you’ve had such great care from the medical team. We are blessed to have access to good treatment that gives us hope. I have recovered from non Hodgkin’s lymphoma which I was diagnosed with last year. It was a total shock. Just noticed a lump on my neck so went for a CT scan and there were lots more than one lump! I received chemo for 5 months and it was successful. I was fortunate to have my wonderful husband caring for me and a very supportive family and friends. I suffered from great anxiety at the start but that improved once I started treatment. I also had a fantastic GP and specialist and care team. It made all the difference knowing they were looking after me. I hope and pray that the rest of your treatments are successful and next year will be good for you. 💕 Linda G ... View more

Hi Justine, so sorry to hear that your nose is not healing properly. Did a plastic surgeon do the procedure? I have had several BCs removed from my face, including my nose, but it sounds like yours was a lot bigger of a problem.  Did you have to have a skin graft? Hopefully the vascular surgeon can give you some answers and relieve your fears. Sending you lots of prayers and love. 💕 Linda G ... View more

Hi, I can only suggest that you ring the cancer support line to ask your questions. I had non Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year but none of the others your mum has. It was treated with RCHOP chemo and so far had been successful 🙏. It’s good you are moving closer to your mum now. So sorry about another cancer on top of all the other ones she has🙏💕 Linda G ...

So sorry about your dad Sarah. As if the car accident wasn’t bad enough. To get a cancer diagnosis is just terrible for you all. I think you are just normal with being so upset. It’s such a shock and it can create so much anxiety. Just have people who you can be honest with about how you feel. People you can cry with. Even talking to a support person at the cancer council is really helpful. Sending you lots of prayers and love. 🙏💕 Linda  ... View more

Hi Crewzin, well at least that’s a step forward for you with a new GP. Hope another oncologist can see you sooner or at least give you some answers. You’re doing the right thing by being proactive for your treatment. Keep fighting the system. 💕🙏 Linda  ... View more

Hi Lenjo, just read your post. I can’t imagine how hard this has been for you when you have a little one and are now pregnant. I helped look after my mum for 2 years and I didn’t have any little ones to deal with as well.  I remember sometimes thinking “I just can’t do this anymore”😢. It’s just a terrible time. It’s only when you deal with a sick parent that you can understand. You are just absolutely exhausted, physically and emotionally. All I can say is not to have any regrets. They are hard to deal with. I had so many in the last 2 weeks of mums life although I don’t know how I could have done anything differently, but you always think you can. Don’t know if any of this helps you. You’ll just have to do what’s right for you and your health and your little family. 🙏💕 Linda G ... View more

Hi, I always hope you’ll have some good news every time you post! And you’re still waiting!!  I’m glad you’re seeing a new doctor, who hopefully will be able to get some answers for you. I still can’t believe you have kidney cancer and this delay is happening! It’s unbelievable 🤦🏻‍♀️    I continue to pray for a resolution for you. 🙏💕 LindaG  ... View more

Hi Bob, how special that you found your wife’s hat with Courage written on it. It was meant to help you for sure.  One day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time. You are moving forward. It’s ok not to know what lies ahead. One day you will. There’s no rush.  🙏💕Linda ... View more

Hi Luckysixteen, so sorry about your situation. All I can suggest is that you talk to your GP about your concerns for your health. You will probably just have to have more check ups during your life for cancer. At least they can put your mind at rest hopefully. Also talk to the Cancer Council if you need to. 🙏💕 Linda G ...

Hi Eliza, so sorry you lost your mum and about your dad’s diagnosis. Of course you are devastated by all this and you are normal to feel like that. You would still be grieving for your mum too. I’m sure your close family and friends will support you through this. It’s ok to be real about how you are feeling. 🙏💕 Linda G ... View more
