Searched to see if there was anything like this but didn’t spot anything, apologies if there is one and please merge if I missed it.
there's a few threads here for various issues but this is a big one, one that sadly hits far too many of us these days!!
So my mum told my brother and myself last week that she had found a lump in her breast that was being investigates. Fast track to friday this week and it’s been confirmed.Grade 3 cancer in her breast and also encapsulated cancer in her lymph nodes
seems it’s been caught fairly early and prognosis is positive, at this stage she has around an 80% survival chance so we are all in a positive frame of mind
she will have a masectomy in the coming weeks and Chemo so will go through the horrible side of seeing her go through that but in our minds it’s a means to an end.
she will come through this, she will survive and we will make sure that as a family we help her however we can to get her there
i hope this thread can be a place to talk, a place to listen and a place for support. I’ve seen this forum be an incredible place that has helped so many beyond the internet so let’s make that work for anyone going through this horrible disease
I’ve recently started running and I’m aiming to compete the Chester half marathon in May and raise money for cancer awareness. To me it’s a big thing as my legs are falling apart as o try to run. Knee issues, hip issues, you name it, all pales into insignificance and I will achieve it!!!
