today I cant breathe and haven't slept properly for a few nights. my head is in circles. hopefull then fearing the totally worst outcome. aunt died of breast cancer in her late 30's. I am 46. can't think straight and if anyone else says its going to be fine I might actually go stark staring madly wild and kick the Christmas tree over.
I haven't told many people but feel bad having told them cos they're all worried now and I am worried about them being worried and the constant phone calls. my head is so far up my arse and I want Christmas to fuck off till I am ready

I'm sorry you're having to go through this Hmm can't tell you it's all going to be fine but the odds are very much in your favour at the moment
Come over to the tamoxigang thread as we do hand holding and can answer any questions you have. Also might help for you to meet people who are living with cancer and still getting ready for Christmas, making the tea etc !

Lola, I can't do links but it's the thread entitled: 'Tamoxigang Xmas Party' - usually near the top of this Health section as they like to chat as it's an active thread??

Wishing you all the best - lumps and biopsies are a total head f# regardless of family history, I know.

Sorry, posting on my phone which does weird things Blush

AngryFeet · 15/12/2013 22:53

Is it a suspicious lump? I have had several that have all been benign. Please remember that 9 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous. And even in the worst case breast cancer survival rates are very good now.

Wishing guy luck. I have a biopsy Wednesday. I will kick the tree with you if anyone tells me to 'be positive' again. My own mother told me about a badge that read 'you are what you think'. Fuck that. Apparently. Sense of humour will help me. Woking on that. Lol

Lola, thank bloody gd. You must've been soooo worried. I'm waiting now. 7-10 days. Sooner if ...
It's compacted anyway . Nerve oaths , spinal chord. Can't believe I'm writing this. Only one week ago life was normal. Glad for you. Can sense your relief. You'll now have an even lovelier Xmas than usual.

Goodness life turns on a sixpence doesn't it? The if.....seems endless, branching off tinto all sorts of nooks and crannies only to take you back to the start again and no one is any the wiser. I am not very good with the terminology, it sounds way way more serious than my situation. and 7-10 days is an awful long time to wait. You are in my thoughts. Write soon

Thanks Lola. To be honest, this is scaring me waaaaay too much to let it become real ( ie dates for The Op ). The longer I wait (almost) the better.

I too have the useful habit of putting so much at arms length it may appear as thought it is happening to someone else. much easier to deal with. doesn't matter how you deal with it, just get out the other side. bit like a wild party....fuck the tidying up till the morning, hangover or not.

A wild 'party fuck'? Think I misread that the first time. But I found it funny.

nothing better than a wild party fuck. though tiring. it is refreshing.

Here, here! Nothing better. Takes the mind off things completely. Lolling.
