I didnt think I would have to face something so soon after loosing Mum to Cancer and heart problems. As a family and individually we have came through such difficult times, unfortunately for mum she was tired with it all and is now peaceful.
I'm ready to fight my own Cancer battle now and with the help of mum and God's Grace and the loved ones around me. I will give it everything I have got. #igotthis #breastcancer
So sorry to hear this news Wishing you a speedy recovery. Stay strong and remember the tratments now are so much more effective than they used to be. I know there will be many people in this crazy community wishing you and those close to you all the very best for the future .
I think having a sense of humour will serve me well. When I was having the biopsy there was blood everywhere and the nurse said to the doctor should I take a photo and he said no. I said "Probably a good idea since I'm not looking my best"
You have been an inspiration to all of us for more years than I can count. This next part of your journey will inspire us in new ways. Get rest. Eat well. Breathe. And, when you can, lean on us. We are all here for you.
And YES... You strong, beautiful, creative, amazing person... #yougotthis

I'm saddened to hear this and I wish you a fast and complete recovery.
It was such a big shock I had another biopsy taken as the lymph node under my arm I looking suspect. Fingers crossed. I'm looking at having the lump moved, I'm not ready for a mastectomy yet. Chemo and radiotherapy is on the cards
I lost a family member about a month ago and she never truly not fully recovered from her cancer so i can truly say that cancer is the biggest cunt to ever exist
Oh my God, I only just saw this now. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I had testicular (which was no big deal) in 2016, and then kidney (which was a rather bigger deal) the next year in 2017. It's no easy news to hear, let alone battle to fight. It's also no easy thing to open up about.
Cancer is a strange illness. It can come on with no family history or disposition. It knows no discrimination of age, sex, race, etc. And it can come on in the blink of an eye. I went ONE MONTH from clean blood work to suddenly having a tumor on my kidney the size of my fist.
I'm thankful that you found it and that you have options. I'm thankful that you also have Soug at your side through it all. Ask questions, ask ALL the questions, and if the doctor is a jerk and blows you off, talk to another doctor.
I hate to say things like "thoughts and prayers" as I like to be able to act, but you will definitely be in mine. If there is anything we can do, please reach out. Even if it's just talking about experiences, different chemo drugs, whatever you need.
You are all so wonderful thank you for all your well wishes.
I'm stage 2 ductal tumour in the right same as mum's weirdly neither of them are genetic cancers and even weirdly the radiographer remarked that it was a butterfly shape. I read Butterfly kisses poem at my Mums funeral in March. Today I received my mums ashes necklace and it's truly beautiful.
I have been in pain this week from the biopsy. I didn't expect the bruising but I'm documenting my journey in pics like my mum did on her tablet. I'm still working which has been hard as its school uniform season here in the uk but only for another couple of weeks and hopefully Wednesday I will have a date for my operation.
I will update my journey on this post as and when I can. I need all the support right now. Thank goodness I have Richard (Soug) with me through this and my Step Dad who went through it with Mum and of course Safi slept at my side for the first few nights I was diagnosed but she is loving country life and out hunting again now We purchased a kayak just before my diagnosis and we have been out in it a couple of times as we live right near a river. It's a great way to relax and take a picnic.
Thanks for posting the update. And ouch for the biopsy, that looks sore.
***offers gentle hug***
Safi is very beautiful. ^..^
Isabeau from my site and her partner have a kayak, they both love wild swimming and use it to go exploring rivers and streams for places to go in the water. Hope you both have many happy adventures in yours.
I absolutely love the water, love boat trips and snorkeling when we are on holiday even though I can't swim My ancestors were boat people on the Leeds Liverpool canal. I would love to own a widebeam
