Guest Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So we had planned to make the move back to U.K. early next year. Seems life has stepped in big time to change that. I've just been given the worst news something given my family history i should have been prepared for. That bastard breast cancer has got me. Sadly i've lost two family members to this bastard thing an aunt and a grandmother both at roughly the same age i am now. My mother has also had the bastard have a go at her too she's made it through so far. I'm so upset not for me but for my partner who has for some time been desperate to return. I'm sure i have not actually processed this news yet. So now a completely different journey than we had planned must begin. Not really sure why i'm putting it out on here just felt the need.

Sometimes it's easier to share with strangers, but even though hardly any of us know each other it doesn't stop us caring for each other. so sorry to hear your news, and send you love and support.

Guest Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Thank you my man has been telling me he's not fed up wit me yet so i'm not allowed to go anywhere. To be honest after what's happened with that plane this morning and all those lovely people especially the children passing like that. I'm counting my blessings. There's always someone worse off.

I have a great man in my life whom i know will give strength when i need it. Hold me when i need to cry. Just be a pain in the arse when i need that too. Most importantly just be himself.

HappyHeart Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 My best friend in the UK was diagnosed a few years ago...lumpectomy and 6 weeks of radiation and so far so good...I work in the field and as we know breast cancer has some great stats/rates and even if not 'cured' is these days thought of by some as more of a 'chronic disease' than a terminal one...much like heart disease or similar......I guess I'm saying don't let the diagnosis change your plans....obviously you have to take stock and plan your treatment...but lots of scope for planning and the future. I hope your man is giving you the best cuddles and filling your heart with hope x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Words don't seem enough. You keep strong lass and fight that b****** with all your strength. Sending you all the positive thoughts and best wishes that I can x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac2011 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Thoughts are with you today. I am sure you are feeling incredibly anxious especially with the enormity of the plane crash too. That has made me feel very sad today. I hope you've had a lovely evening with your man and you just work towards living each day to the full. If there are any negatives to a story like this, it certainly stops you living life for the future or not living life to the full. My grandma in law, had this disease which she has fought and survived. She has the most exciting life of anyone I have ever met. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjez Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I was diagnosed with lymphoma 8 years ago, so I have an idea of what you are going through. It is something that comes into perspective with time, but never really fits. It's a journey, take a deep breath and face the road. There will be windows where you can still do the move. Cancer is like a war. Intense periods of stress, interspersed with long periods of waiting. Both UK and oz have excellent programs, and I'm sure they would help you to switch if you wanted to. Good luck. Keep strong, cry a little when you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
