Sorry if this is on the wrong thread but i'm not sure where to put it

Nearly 2yrs ago i had surgery to remove a sarcoma (no treatment afterwards as not needed). My 6 month scan was clear and i had another scan 4wks ago to check if it had come back. The hospital have rang today and told me they had booked me in next Friday to see a member of the surgery team. I am abaolutely terrified and beside myself with worry. I am a single parent to a very young child who has no contact with dad due to domestic abuse. I barely have any family/friend support. If the cancer is back i really don't know what i will do. I feel physically ill

It’s great that everyone is being brilliant. I bet people would be really pleased if you could tell them what you need.

I don’t know that anyone has solved the Eyelash Problem, sadly. You could ask your nurses. Xx

Deleting as I was responding to the original post, not noticing the date.

Hi @Lostmymind11 I've been following your updates and I wanted to offer a handhold.

I remember well the knot in my stomach as fistfuls of hair came out. Strangely once I shaved it I felt better. I thought well that's done now. My partner looked so nervous when I faced him, he smiled at me and said hey beautiful, I love those eyes.

This will pass. Keep going.

You are doing so incredibly well with all this OP, it can't be easy at all.

So i have my 2nd lot of chemo yesterday and so far i feel fine again. Then i braved the shave last night. My friend came round to whip my hair off and we made it into a funny event which is exactly what i wanted and needed

That’s as good as it gets, OP. I am really admiring you right now. And very happy that you are feeling fine, or at least okay. As always, very best wishes Xx

I’m so glad you and your friend did that and made it a positive-feeling thing - because it is! It’s another step in your journey to recovery; a milestone in your progress. It’s a sign of how strong you are. Big hugs and keep going!

Sending you love and support x

Glad the shave felt positive. Its done now and another thing you don't have to worry about. Just in time for the temperature to drop! I will do a sun dance for you! I bet you look amazing.

How’re you doing @Lostmymind11? Thinking of you x

Hi everyone, i know i went AWOL but i will give an update for anyone that may be interested in how things have been.

So i did 4 cycles of chemo which finished around 6wks ago now. I had a scan at the beginning of Dec to see if chemo had worked. I am honestly so shocked by the results i can't believe i'm even writing this but i am currently NED. The best christmas present i could ever ask for
