Hugs...updated 3

[mushumadness]

.....are in need

My sister just rang and told me she has cancer, I am absolutely gutted, upset and for some reason really annoyed. its skin cancer and they dont know exactly how much of her skin is effected, surely most of her face, and they dont know as to what degree, or if its spread, I mean Im sitting here in tears immediatly thinking I am going to lose my sister, and I know chances are I wont but Im scared. Shes only 34, shes milital about wearing sunscreen even on sunny days here, and shes got two small girls, plus she just lost her mother in law to cancer (she died within three week of diagnosis).

I love my sister to pieces and this has shocked me to my toes

Anna, I'm so sorry for you, the rest of the family and especially your sister :hug:

I can only begin to imagine how you must all be feeling at the moment and I'm sorry that words just seem so inadequate at such a time when what's needed is a huge :hug:. I will be praying for you all.

:grouphug: What can I say? I cannot make it better but I hope that it is a comfort to know that you are being thought of all around the country. The thing now is to be strong and positive for your sister, she will appreciate your strength and support through the days ahead. I wish your sister a speedy and successful treatment. :hug:

[SammieG]

hugs to you mushumadness {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

You must be feeling horrid right now. I lost my mother prematurely to cancer, a couple of years ago, and I really know how you feel....

Rest in the knowledge that Skin Cancer is usually pretty contained. A number of my friends have had cancerous spots on their body or face that have been removed with no problems following.
I know there is no point saying "dont worry" as you will anyway.. but dont worry beyond what you already know -
Fingers crossed that she will be fine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[jen_uk]

:grouphug: Anna Im so sorry, I truly hope everything works out ok. Sending you lots of hugs and pixie dust. :grouphug: :wizard:

[mark&sue]

Make sure she gets seen to quickly and if she has to wait see if she can pay to have it removed quicker. My mum paid to have her skin cancer taken away immediately. £500 well spent in my opinion. It would have been the same doctor doing the operation but he did it a lot quicker than with the National Health.

Hopefully her area will see her immediately and she will be cured just like my mum has been.

My thoughts are with you.

I dont think anythings going to lift my spirits tonight,

[diberry]

I'm really sorry Anna - you must be reeling with shock but I think your reaction of anger is very positive because it'll make you strong. Hope your sister gets the same reaction and that everything turns out fine!!! :grouphug:

[jns]

we have had lots of different cancers in our family my mother has recovered from breast cancer twice and has had skin cancer
but sadly my father never recovered from lung cancer so i kind of know how you feel but the main thing is to stay positive and strong for your sister
as someone else says get it seen to straight away even if it means paying
sending you lots of :grouphug: :grouphug:


:wizard: and i found it is nice to had something good to look forward to after everything, so maybe a holiday for yourself and your sister :rolleyes1

[mushumadness]

luckily susan is in bupa and they are treating her and are cutting off the one that seems to be the min one.

luckily she does have a holiday to look forward to, shes going with her husband and daughters to florida in may.

i must have spent 5 hours reading skin cancer sites, and all i seem to be able to see is how painfull, the worse ones are, and i hope its not those ones she has.

we're all getting together this afternoon for a family meal (rare thing) think its made us realise we have been drifting apart

[jns]

we're all getting together this afternoon for a family meal (rare thing) think its made us realise we have been drifting apart

Yes that is one good thing about sickness
It makes you think ,how lucky we really are
and what is importment in life

[Miffy2003]

Good wishes to your family and especially your sister at this difficult time Anna.

[Frances999]

I am so sorry to hear this, Anna. I hope your sister makes a fast recovery. They are great at Bupa - I'm sure she will be fine. :wizard: :wizard:

[mushumadness]

ever feel like the worlds against you, my day bites majorly, I even seem to have scared the tag fairie clear away from me, or maybe its my lack of happiness.

saw sue today, and i thought before she was handling it well, but now shes saying things like she can come off her diet *** she might not be here next year, thinkin it will lighten the situation up (!!) doesnt work for me. so i dont think she is holding up well. I could kill her myself for joking about it, then bursting into tears, I dont know how I am meant to react right now.

I didnt sleep last night I had nightmares, I feel about 10 years old.

wheres the light at the end of the tunnel :guilty:

[Dimplenose]

There isn't a right way to react. When my DH had cancer we dealt with it by having a plan if the worst should happen (it made one less thing to worry about) we then stopped thinking about the worst and coped with his treatment as positively as we could one day at a time. We couldn't have coped with our then 3 year old and 3 month old if we had been thinking the worst all the time. Fortunately he is OK 10 years on.

I think you just need to be there for your sister, it's early days you are both still in shock. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

[FizzyPop]

Stay strong Anna, very hard I know. Take each day as it comes and stay positive.

[Hilary]

I dont know how I am meant to react right now.



There's no right and wrong at times like this - only what's 'right' for you. Don't feel bad about the way you're reacting; try to accept that's the way you feel and then try to be there for your sister in whatever capacity she needs you. Easier said than done, I know :(

[drennan]

My heart goes out to you, it must be horrible - its the unknown what's probably making you so angry - and rightly so, but you do need to stay strong for your sister and especially for her little girls big hugs {{{{hugs}}}} in the meantime though - we are all here for you when you need support :grouphug:

[JanElliott]

Oh Anna so sorry to hear your news. Like others have said take one day at a time. I went through all sorts of emotions when I had a tumour removed in Jan 2004 but as days passed and treatment started I got comfort from the fact that something was being done and the panicy feeling subsided. Sending you and your family hugs
