Not a good day. leukaemia diagnosis.

[biscuitsandbandages]

When I woke up this morning I was a mum of 3 with an 8 week old baby.

Now im a cancer patient on thr coronary care ward.

This cannot be happening to me.

No words of wisdom but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and your family.

so sorry to hear that, biscuits

i'm away now but back Å?atÄ? next week and London based. again a stranger but if you need anything at all, do let me know.

Biscuits, I'm on the central south Coast and would be happy to help in any way I can. Please PM me if there's anything I can do to make things a little easier for you. Please.

Thinking of you and of Brave.

So sorry to read your news, can't imagine x

Hi Biscuits, so sorry to hear this. I'm another holding your hand

So sorry - what a hiodeous shock for you all :( Sending you a virtual hand-squeeze and wishing there was something more useful I could do.

I'm nowhere near you, but I'm wishing you every good thought & wish xx

My sister has just beat breast cancer, she too vowed to get through it for her children, and she did. Just like you will xx

Oh biscuits.

A lurker wishing you strength. I am in Norfolk so if I am close enough to help just shout, or pm!

Honestly if you need a food for you or some treats for the kids, anything xx

Oh biscuit I am sorry & another offer of help if you're in Kent near the new hospital.

Another one popping in to wish you well and hold your hand. Keep talking, we are rooting for you and your family right now.

So sorry to hear what you're going through, praying for you.

Hey biscuit, still here, how's things?

Big big hugs coming your way, keep posting x

So sorry biscuit, I'm in the north east so not nearby but please do take people up on offers of help-even if it's getting a book delivered once a week or a letter from someone so you have someone I write to to vent. Sometimes it is easier with a stranger.

Here holding your hand x

I'm so, so sorry biscuits

My 4 year old DS has just completed treatment for a kidney tumour. In my experience once you have a treatment plan etc it does get a tiny bit easier.

I'm so sorry you can't be with your beautiful babies at the moment, that must be desperately hard. I am in Surrey if I can be of any help? I really mean that, so please don't hesitate if there is anything I can do xx

Another thinking of you.

Xxx

Biscuits that sounds desperately hard. PPs are right though - you may well be allowed home sooner, they tend to give you an outside estimate. Can you have visitors? Thinking of you.

Biscuits, I am in Surrey and my car can drive itself to the Royal Marsden in Sutton, if that is where you are. I can get to London easily too so please, please say if you need anything. I didn't have chemo (surgery and r/t) but I know how it feels to be given a cancer dx and the way your world suddenly changes. Please do accept all help offered, whether on here or in real life. Thinking of you as you deal with this.

Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. x

Thinking of you, biscuits.

Your post really struck a chord. As the result of an ongoing chronic condition I suffer from, I have to go into hospital for major surgery in the coming weeks and am dreading leaving my children (incl 15-wk-old baby) at home, especially as baby appears not to want to bottle feed despite strenuous efforts to prepare her I know only too well how long term illness can shatter hopes and dreams, but hopefully it will only be temporary and you can look forward to a time when you are well again. They're onto it now. Let them treat & make you better. Hospitals can be anxiety inducing and lonely places. Do make use of the marvellous support offered here on MN, and any that is offered elsewhere. Take up offers of help. Talk, talk, talk - if it helps. You totally deserve to have all the support and love you can surround yourself with.

I'll have you in my thoughts & (if it's ok with you) prayers too ??

Another one with a hand hold here biscuits, sorry to hear your bad news has been confirmed. Hopefully now you can get a treatment plan so can tick things off to getting back home with your family xx

Good luck but you can fight this. I know you can.

Just wanted to add a message of support for you. I can only imagine what you're going through right now x

I need to go to sleep. DH has gone home with our baby. He is in pieces. I have taken the cowards way out and posted a Facebook status explaining what is happening now that our family know. I can't face having that conversation any more right now. Talking about it s too exhausting.
Chemo tomorrow and the search for positive T cell ALL outcomes continues. Thank you all for being my back up crew and my heart goes out to those of you who are having to take this awful journey too. X
