I know the feeling, my dad pasted away December 2012 and my mum just 17 days later,we knew my dad had bowl cancer,but when he went for his pre-op assessment,they did a chest X-ray,and he had it in his lungs as well, as for my mum,(she always had aches and pains,so nobody took any notice,she was upset after my dad,so we all put it down to that),but she had been on a diet,but she had undiagnosed leukaemia,and I got a phone call at work to go to my mum,I got the doctor out for a home visit,and he did blood test,next thing I knew,an ambulance was on its way,they thought she maybe diabetic,but were waiting one more result.
When we got to the hospital,she kept losing consciousness,and the test came back as leukaemia. She was taken to ICU ,and she was stabilised,I told told to get some rest,so went back to her house,and got a phone call at just after 8am to get to the hospital,she past away just after 12 noon,but it took me an hour to get there,as we had snow.
Then in July 15, I went for an annual mammogram and they found something,was diagnosed in September 15 with Breast cancer( never been so scared).
But now thanks to a brilliant consultant,I've had a mastectomy,and reconstruction,and am currently in Cyprus until January 17.
At the back of my mind I keep wondering will it come back!, just have to try hard and keep positive,and have faith in your medical team
Good luck with your treatment,take care,and it's ok to be scared,frightened,we've all been there,try and have a good Christmas,.xxxx

Hi Parker, i am so so sorry for what you have been through. We both have similar case. I have never been recovered from what happened with our Dad, then this diagnosis of Breast Ca totally surprised me. Had my annual mammogram Sept 7, had a repeat Sept 15 and did biopsy the same day. Had bilateral mastectomy November 16 and will have a second surgery on December 16. Every time i look on myself on the mirror, it makes me feel weak, it makes me feel want to check if it is real or i am just dreaming. My mom on the other hand is very sick too. I havent told her that i have breast cancer. She is still depressed with what happened to my dad and i dont want to add more to that depression. We never had any history of it. I am the first one in the family to have this diagnosis. I will pray for you. I havent really opened up to anybody about how i feel because everytime i tried, i just ended up crying. Stay strong. You are beautiful inside and outside.

I'm sorry your mum is sick,so it must be so hard for you. The only words of advice I can give you is trust your medical team. I was,luckier than you in a lot of ways as I didn't have anybody else to think about or upset, but I had the most amazing consultant, I could ask anything,and the breast care,and the speck team were amazing.
I still worry it will come back,but we've all got to live,and so far the consultant has given me the best options.
When I was diagnosed, I gave my cancer a name,the Alien,so first it was in the departure lounge,then it was exterminated,as for the surgery itself,I was surprised, I didn't expect it to look as good as it did,and the reconstruction feels strange sometimes,but I am more than happy.
As for my dad,he was an army man,and when I felt down,I just used to think what would dad say,he was never a lovey dovey man,but he did love me,so I had to get on with it.
My Auntie,his sister,always says he would have been so proud of me,so that's all I hold onto.
You try and stay positive,take one day at a time,and always give it your best shoot,rest when you need to,ask for help,and do whatever you can,and rest when you need to.
I hope you have a bearable Christmas.xxx,big hugs and kisses.xx

Thank you so much Parker 1438. I am so glad your reconstruction turned out good. We at least deserve that after all that we've been through. Take care of yourself. Dont worry about anything from now. Enjoy your holidays. I always think that everything happened for a reason. God loves us all, sometimes we need to stop what we are doing with these busy lifestyles we have to realize what is the most important thing in life. May God continue to bless you. Thank you dor taking time to reply. Big hugs to you my sister( cancer) . We will conquer this battle and put an end with it hopefully soon.

Hi Maggie, i had a bilateral mastectomy November 16 then my surgeon will do a second surgery December 16 after the report of the pathologist. I havent had any treatment yet. My breast cancer was caught early, i had my annual mammogram, no lumps or anything. I have a co worker that had a similar situation like yours with her husband. Her sister had a breast cancer 10 years ago and passed away this year so suddenly. Stress is related to what we are going through. May i ask what superfoods yoiu are taking and do they have any website? Thank you for your message. Hang on in there. You are strong. You are beautiful inside and outside.
So sorry to hear that. Rinna you hang in there and beat that thinking of you and I hope all goes well for you I'm sure your dad will be looking over you big hugs stay well x
Hi Surviver, thank you for your sweet thoughts sending me words of encouragement. I really appreciate it. Hope you are feeling better. Hope you are not in any kind of pain. Take care. Always remember you are one kind of a toughie and you are beautiful inside and outside.
I also think about that way sometimes. I just turned my head to the other side. I just think that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we dont get it right away but later on we will realize the answer. Crying helps a lot. If only i dont have a 7 year old daughter, i will just let this go on and not do any kind of treatment. I choose to live, for my daugther. I rather have this than any of my family have this. Thank my sister( cancer) . Be strong all the time. God Bless you my dear.
Why do some if us get it all while others get nothing? It just seems totally unfair. Hey but we are still alive so hope that your treatment goes well and keep posting on this site of you have any worries or frustrations to get rid of. My best wishes to you xx
So sorry to hear your news .it all comes at once doesn't it.they say we aren't given what we can't cope with but not sure about that ..take every bit of positive news you can and run with it ..my mom died in 2002 with cancer and I miss her so much it's easier you learn to cope .all I wanted at times during this cancer journey is talk to my mom ..but I do in my own way ...you take care and have a good Christmas as best you can with bc and your loss .each day will be different . Crying is good so let it all out or it will come round and bite you in the bum down the line .take care stay well
