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

I am sorry to hear that. I am sure you will be fine. Just a piece of advice. I tried Ayurveda (Ancient Indian Medicine) to treat the symptoms of my mother's ductal carcinoma and it worked out great. I followed iahas.com for some great advice on Ayurvedic therapy and diet. You can take look at this option and I am sure Ayurveda will help you with your treatment. ... 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

Thanks for the support. I know it is hard for the nurses and doctors to give any timeframes but I just HATE the not knowing.  Dr has just placed him on morphine, which has me really worried because they were planning on saving that only for the final days/hours ... 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 ...

@Hannah30, it can be a confusing time after diagnosis. You feel vulnerable and insecure. Try ringing the Cancer Council number on this site, 13 11 20. It's good to have someone to talk to. They can also advise on other support that may be available to you. Best wishes. ... View more
