The thread that Val started has now been moved to General Health. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/general_health/2016081-Zombie-needs-her-limbs-holding?msgid=46439734

Please keep posting there if you wish.

As most of you know, I'm having my second mastectomy on Thursday. I will almost certainly need to have more chemotherapy.

This is my thread for those who wish to walk beside me on my journey.

Bastarding cancer

You're going to kick its arse!

Were here when your ready zombie

Oh Zombie, what terrible news for you.but the best news is that there is still hope

Cancer is a bastard. I wish I could kick it in the nuts for you.

Zombie what horrible news. That truly sucks. I am so sorry.
(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

Fucking cancer

Sending you lots more good vibrations, Zombie. That's one better than vibes, y'know, so more powerful.

Fuck it, have a (((hug)))

Thinking of you Zombie. I've been lurking on this thread, but i had to come out with my support for you. Fuck cancer xxx

Not sure what to say really, but I hope the chemo kicks ass!

Thanks all.

Fuck cancer indeed.

I WILL get through this.

But, for tonight, I'm just going to get very, very drunk. xxx

Zombie I hope you are not alone. If you are then take your preferred booze and a glass and some music and your laptop up to bed where you may get as drunk as you like in perfect safety. Love to you. If I can do anything shout and I'll come to you xxx

grey, I am alone at my own request. I need a day or two to process on my own. If I get too drunk to crawl up the stairs, I'll just crash on the lounge floor. The ZombieCats would love that. xxx

Delurking to say how very sorry I am that you have and continue to go through bastard cancer. you are incredibly brave to share your story. As a lurker I don't know you but I have watched from the sidelines as you have gone through so much. I'm sure others on these threads who are on your journey have felt a little less alone. You have often made me smile and I have always admired your never ending feistiness. Bloody bastard cancer! You may think you know who your friends are but there are many many more lurkers who are supporting you silently. Cheers zombie

Oh Zombie what a total bastard.

Oh sweetheart that really is a fucker of a bombshell, I'm so sorry.

You will beat it, and then we'll have that mother of all parties that you've been putting off for a while

I'm a bit worried about you getting so drunk on your own

I hope you made it to bed and ZombieCats are guarding you.

Morning! Yes, I know it's afternoon, but I'm only just starting my second cup of coffee.

Linski, thank you for de-lurking and for your very kind words. If sharing my experiences helps even one person I consider it a job well done. Please don't be a stranger.

All, yep, that's a good way of putting it.

Bee, I'm fine. I drink my whisky straight but accompanied by plenty of water on the side. I took 2 sleepy pills just before going up and slept like a log for 9 hours. The ZombieCats are taking very good care of their mummy.

Love and ZombieHugs™ to all reading this!

In my thoughts Zombie, I am so glad you have your friend coming tomorrow.

Only just caught up with this shitty news.

Bastard fucking cancer.

Sending you tons of love & I too am looking forward to the party.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Fucking bastard, wanky, cunty cancer.

Thinking of you zombie hope the coffee is helping with the excess alcohol.

Believe me when I say your post are helping, your
resistance, positive attitude and humour is amazing.

oh Zombie, I've been so busy living in my own bubble I haven't "checked" how you were, although I have been thinking about you.

so sorry to hear your latest news.
what fucking shit parasite cancer is!
I'm glad though, that there is still hope and a plan for beating it and that you are looked after by a fab team. And your positive attitude is just admirable!

sending you big hugs

Lots of tools in the tool box lovely Zombie still. Control is fine . Control can go on for a long long time . I know it does.

Take the love here and wrap it around your shoulders and rest your head on ours to support you in the coming weeks . You are so cared for on here
Words on a screen? Pah !!
I don't post much on your threads but am with all of your dear friends walking beside you .
Well given my weight probably waddling and a bit behind if truthful . Thinking of you a lot . Hope them pesky cats are cuddling you .

Zombie, just to wish you well as you start on the road to recovery tomorrow. I hope the treatment will not be too gruelling for you and that you can tolerate it well.

Thinking of you this week Zombie as you set out on the next part of your journey.
Sending you love.

Thank you all.

I had a fabulous evening with my friend. We've still got years of catching up to do so many more of those are on the agenda. And. When I came down this morning I found her cleaning my kitchen!

So, the day has arrived. Mixed feelings about that. I'm glad the treatment is finally beginning but also a bit apprehensive about the side effects. Ah, well, this too shall pass.

Hope you all have a great day. ZombieHugs™.

Sending you strength Zombie.

(((((())))) back at ya!

Wishing you lots of strength...go kick it's ass zombie!

Delurking to add my support.

Fucking Cuntcer! zombie you are one of the bravest, strong, fierce people I know... You are an inspiration to us all.

Thank you for sharing your journey.

Muchos vino & zombie cat treats.
