My Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer the month I left school in 1975 and had a mastectomy, followed by radiotherapy.........................I'm off to have a cup of tea with her this afternoon when I finish work!

My mother was diagnosed with cancer of the womb and ovaries, she had a full hystirectomy and her ovaries taken away. She had Radio theropy sor a few months.

Was such a shock and we we're all feeling the strain but after researching myself and looking at the positive side I was able to be strong in front of my nother and father who wernt coping very well.

Thankfully she had recovered fine and as yet been given good prospects. A Very sobering experience!

Chin up though honey, thoughts are with you x x x x

Hi carly1 as I have posted on filthiestfis's thread my mother in law is 72yrs old, she's had bowel cancer twice and also in the womb, she's had extensive surgery and chemotherapy and is extremely well. My friend in work has seen her husband through surgery and radiotherapy for first a tumour of the salivary gland and then and then a brain tumour, he's in his sixties and has made fantastic progress. Carly1 its ok to feel crap but take heart love, rooting for you!

There are many, many stories of people who survive cancer and who are in the same boat as you. I see them most days.

Stay positive, stay focused and as easy as it is for me to say this, don't let it be the main focus for your life. Sometimes it's easy to concentrate only on the fight and forget what it is you're fighting for. Take time to appreciate all the things that make life worth the battle.

Good luck to you.

Best of luck. My sister in law battled bowel cancer, and she's fine now. A friend had a breast reduction and radiotherapy (also fine), and another friend has had the dreaded thing twice - but that was eight year's ago now, and she looks and feels as fit as a fiddle. All the best.
