Hi @colleenyoung. Thank you for your words! I will reply to you message later today. Just to briefly explain -- As you may remember, after the passing of my friend Dina, I felt pretty depressed. I needed space and time to nurse myself back to health and did come out of it, eventually. But I didn't feel "healthy" enough and "strong" enough to get back on "Connect". Then the diagnosis ... And it suddenly hit me -- I can be of help to others, and I can gain support and information while doing so! I am BLESSED in many ways -- I saved myself because I found my Melanoma, now again, I saved myself because I found the Breast Cancer ... Maybe again because, due to the hematoma, I had a CT of the lungs, and they found a "nodule" in my Right Lung. So now I am being followed for the Melanoma, Breast Cancer, and Lung Nodule (not better identified at this point).
I really feel BLESSED. Everything was/is at a VERY EARLY stage. Therefore, in spite of all the problems I have encountered, I feel very positive and absolutely optimistic about what comes next.
Must run off, have to see my surgeon (my left breast is NOT healed yet!!). Then I have my FIRST Radiation Treatment ... and that makes me very anxious, no turning back after today!
Thanks again Colleen! Dee
@danielad Hi Dee,
Welcome back to Connect! What a remarkable outlook you have. I'm sure you will be of help to others as you are willing to share your experiences with them. How fortunate that your cancers were found at early stages, as was mine. That is much to be grateful for.
I look forward to reading your updates as you continue on your journey of health!
