I’m just here tonight thinking my life through. My battles with cancer 5 years ago and now. My boyfriend leaving me 2 months ago because he “couldn’t handle it”. That I might have to go back into chemo. And as I read through some questions and answers here, I just want to say that you are ALL amazing women! The kindness and compassion in this group is like no other. You are all warriors in my eyes and I pray for you all. I thank you all for always being there for me. God give us all hope and strength to keep fighting.

God bless you all 🙏💕

Anna we are all in this together and I remember what someone said before - “we are all in the same storm but just in different boats.” Some of us struggle more than others but the love, concern and compassion are the same. I wish you peace and blessings. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers. Will keep you in mine🙏

I am in awe of your resiliency. 💕

Annadm -

Wow, you've been through/are going through a lot...I'm so sorry! And still you ended with such a positive, uplifting message... :)

I couldn't agree more about this community! I think it's like no other! I've checked out a couple of similar sites but they seem less like a "community" more like dry posting questions/answers, often with lots of time in between or no response at all...

Here, we get almost real-time interaction. If we're having a bad -- or good -- day, within a few hours someone is always there to support or celebrate with us. So we'll definitely be there for you...(heart)..

I agree this site is a blessing 💖 You are a strong person and may I so boldly say you do not need a weak man in your life his loss not yours. Stay strong and we are all here for each other thoughts and prayers are with you 🥰

Hi Anna,

You have been through so much lately. Dealing with a break-up as well must have been so hurtful for you. You need people in your life who will care for you and support you, not view you as a burden that they cannot cope with. I'm glad you can draw strength from this site. I find it very helpful to engage with other ladies in the same situation as me too.

Take care,

Sophie

Curious. Learning as I go but I thought (or I was told) they do not do chemo if you are stage iv. At least that what was the breast cancer told me after tests, when it was found in my lungs, making it stage iv. Crazy, as it sounds I was relieved not to have to have chemo or radiation.

Yes, quite a few of us have had iv chemo at stage 4, it can be very effective for some people 🙂 It’s generally offered after first line has failed.

Glad you found this group. You sound like a strong person. As they say, the boyfriend did you a favour by leaving. Sure hope he never gets Cancer. He wouldn't cope well.

Not like us. We know how to get back up! Be kind to your self as much as possible.

Cheers, June S.

He couldn’t have cared about you that much to do such a thing. If anything our illness should make our relationship stronger.

You will find great support here and we are all with you. You must look after yourself. Stay strong.

Why does it seem bad things come in droves??! Like testing us to see how much we can handle. When I was first diagnosed in 2007 I also had a year where I lost my boyfriend( and the father of my daughter) just after I had found the lump. Nothing went right that year. But 2008 was fantastic! I met a guy 10 years younger than me while on vacation and we had a fun long distance relationship for nearly 5 years. Now strangely enough right after I found out about this diagnosis he has come back into my life! Maybe Gods way of saying hang in there, there are better days ahead? For now I’m taking a day at a time and thinking how tough things were before and all the blessings that came later. We should be expecting a boatload of them in the future! Hang onto that hope!

Anna, bless you on this journey. I'm so sorry that you have endured the hardships of not only cancer but also losing someone you loved and trusted. There will be other folks who come into your life to love and support you during this time, and your own resiliency, faith, and strength will take you through the dark times.

What a terrible boyfriend! Sounds like this is definitely someone who is not worthy of you! Keep posting on here and we have your back! You are in my thoughts (and my jewish prayers too!).

I feel your pain! Life hands us so many challenges, but it’s still worth the journey! Men sometimes can be weak when it comes to coping with someone that has issues! You are better off without him if he can’t be the support you need! God bless you with His strength going forward! There will be light at the bottom of this tunnel! Stay strong, my friend! Kathy from Syracuse!

I hope that door kicked him in the ass on his way out. You, my kindred soul, have all of us plus your angels to watch over you, send you love and kisses and send positive vibes to replace those dark and negative vibes that went out the door.

It is a fantastic group. I saw a motivational phrase the other day that made me smile and think of this group. True friends are the ones who walk into our lives when all others are leaving.

I’m sorry about what you are going through. Even tho the head knows you are better off without someone like that in your life, the heart still hurts, I’m sure. Just add me to this list of caring women who wish the very best for you and would cover you with hugs if it was possible.

Good riddance to the boyfriend! You will find this site very supportive and uplifting. I have learned so much and been very encouraged on here. It is nice to communicate with others who understand our worries and who can share their experiences. The site has been of huge importance to me and helped me during my first year of metastasis to realize I might just have a future. I feel so much better both physically and mentally than I did two and a half years ago.

Right on, Ruby! This is my first few months with this very real yet other world of cancer metastasis. We are in this together and get an opportunity to support each other and share hope, support and valuable information. We can knowingly smile together in our special place.
