Mrs Janz Lump

[janzman]

..Following last Mondays tests and leading up to today's appointment, I'm sorry to have to report that the outcome could not be worse.

Mrs Janz has a cancer which will require a full mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The surgery will also require the removal of the lymph nodes (I really don't know what this means).

Without doubt the very worst day of our lives so far. There will be many more terrifying days ahead for my darling but by the end of 2016 we should (hopefully) be able to enjoy a wonderful 2017, God willing.

A very hard time ahead for you, sorry to hear the outcome - this detection and the treatment will be difficult but with each other you'll get through.

Thinking of you both.

[Mosaic]

At least you both know now, and are getting treatment. Big hugs and loves to you both.

[Elina]

Sorry to hear your upsetting news, it's a lot to take in x

[Tilly2]

That is terrible news for you both and I can only say that I wish you both the strength and fortitude to get through this together. Best wishes. xx

[Psybbo]

Janesman, my heart goes out to both of you. Wishing you strength for the coming year and a happy outcome.

[rockyracoon]

Sorry to hear that :(

Stay strong and keep and great 2017 in your mind.

[Sqad]

Not the best news, but depending on the condition of the lymph nodes and cancer type, the condition is treatable.

Well now you know the problem and the hospital and doctors will start the process to get things sorted. It is a long road you are stepping out on but you should be grateful for the diagnosis. Don't give up. My prayers are with you both.

Sorry to hear your diagnosis. The lymph nodes will be removed also as these transfer the cancer to other parts of the body. If these are clear the cancer has not spread. You are now in the process to beating it. Good old NHS when it matters. Wishing you both strength.

Sorry to hear your news. You must both still be very numb. It’s a shock when you get the diagnosis but, believe me, you do get through it. Stay strong.

[marval]

I am sorry to hear this, at least now she can start the treatment. My prayers and thoughts are with you both at this difficult time.

Oh dear . That is not the best news you could of asked for is it ? I tried 5 times earlier to reply on my stupid I phone and lost my reply as I was nearing the end of my message to you.
I am sorry you have had confirmation of something you have worried about for the last two weeks or so. Yes I have been watching.
You see I am a fellow cancer sufferer who survived and I wish you to believe me that you can fight it if you have the will.
I did have cancer of the sigmoid colon in Oct 2014 when I was diagnosed with it. I felt I had to be strong and reassure my wife and kids.
It really is not the big bogey man it used to be. Fight like hell to beat it and with the help and skill of good medical practice I am sure you could survive an unpleasant experience in your life. You might feel better for coming through this together.Please do not despair.You will never be alone. Chemo is a little unpleasant and inconvenient but it is an other small hurdle to persevere with.
You will be attending many outpatient clinics in the future for checks.You might see small children with no hair going through the process of cancer treatment.
It helped me to not feel sorry for myself. I am in my early 60s and I thought these young innocents do not understand or know what is happening to their bodies. We are old enough and mature to have some comprehension so force yourself not to feel sorry for your self and vow to remain with your loved ones for a hell of a lot longer yet. Fight and fight. This is like a burglar invading your property. Give it a bloody good seeing to and get it off your property.
I am with you and your wife all the way.Please ensure your good wife is a compliant patient and I am sure with good support she will be OK.
I would always like to hear of your progress together and If I can assist with any advice I can give I shall be happy to follow your progress together.
It is mind over matter in many cases I believe. Be stubborn and trust in your medical team.Good luck and keep us in touch. Best wishes for the future. :-)

My thoughts and prayers are with you both. God bless x

Our fingers are crossed for you janz and there's always someone on here if you need to unload.
