Hi @Mellysmellyelly 🌸
Yes thats right, I have my first of 15 radiation therapy sessions today. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last September and had surgery in November. Pretty nervous about it all, so I really appreciate your post. Thank you. 💕

Have a good day. 🌷

Dear Emelia, I hope you got on alright today. Thank you very much for your message too and explanations. I'm a bit slow with technology I"m afraid. That"'s a long drive for you each time. Keep positive!!! 💕 My sister in law had Inflammatory breast cancer, strong chemo, surgery then radiation more than 6 years ago and is well now..She has retired and with her supportive husband was able to do Christmas dinner for all her family (15 of us). She had no family ca history. I know every case is different. If you ever felt not up to the drive i hope that someone could take you ??? Take good care of yourself !!! I"ve tried to read up on some of your and others' backgrounds to get to know you all a little better. Wow you encourage many !!!
I too lost my dear Mum to ovarian ca way back in early 1980s when she wss only middle aged. So far my sister and I have managed to avoid it and are v thankful to be over that hump age. We are v thankful to both have had such a good relationship with her. But at anniversary i still get a bit sad. I never knew until s few yesrs after that one of the tablets she regularly took was an anti depressant. She always seemed so calm. And the 20 years i knew her I only ever saw her cry twice and that was concerning other people. So I always thought I had to be emotionally restrained like her even though that wad not my nature. It wasn't until I had breakdown in mid 20s that my psychiatrist taught me that it was OK to be seen crying.
Hello to others too. @Bow @Former-Member @Eve7 I'm findin it a little hard to remember what i read and remember what belongs to who. Hope tags work
Love, Melly xxxooo
