This is the first time I've read this Tim as I have been away and such. I've not read all of it, we have had a close member of our family go through this with a double mascectomy, so I can thoroughly understand what you and your family are going through.
Love and strength I am sending to you.
Your a good egg Tim even though your slightly cracked, I'm sure you'll give her all the support she needs, just being there is enough. And being here is where we all ar for you...thinking of you..both

I totally agree, and in Lynne's case, it sounds like it was caught before it spread.

My best wishes for Lynne's recovery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Have hope.

All the best is sent to you the TW family.
The days maybe long and hard and it may seem like you cant fight anymore, but just remember to look to your friends for support and comfort and never give up.

We are all here for you so all you have to do is ask. Take care.

sending good health thoughts

Ah jeez mate, I'm so sorry to hear this. My mum had the same thing a while ago, her breast cancer was caused by the HRT she was put on after her hysterectomy. Finger crossed for a speedy recovery.

Keep your chin up, you know we're all here for you.

The roller coaster is not a good place to be right now and hope the drain is out and your wife is more comfortable now. My wife had a mastectomy and chemo back in 1990 and was fit enough to run off with another fellah in 2003 She was in the Tamoxifan trials as well (scary stuff). Went to every chemo session with her. You'd be suprised how positive the other folks down oncology are - its like a holiday camp.
The positive I can offer is it takes things like this to make you realise how wonderful life is, how it is so worth preserving and the you will do all those things together you wanted to now. Take care and I'm sure she'll pull through.

So sorry to hear of this. I hope all the treatment works exactly as it should and leads to a speedy recovery. My wife had a scare with a breast lump but it turned out to be a cist and was treated easily. For a short time I had a vision of the kind of things you and your wife are going through now. You'll be in our thoughts.

Cheers Keith

Man that's ****, and I totally hear you on your thoughts re "god".

My mum has had osteo arthritis for a long time, and has subsequently developed rheumatoid arthritis. She's on loads of medication, which are all having to weigh up against each other as she has various other diseases. To top it off, about 10 months back she got diagnosed with kidney cancer. This news came just weeks after my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Luckily all has gone well with my mum and sister, with successful operations. I hope everything goes well for you and your wife.
