Hi all Jenna J here
I am just writing this to inform you that only this week we found out my mother in law has breast cancer and she will be operated on at the end of the month. It is a severe case as she is in her 70's and a smoker I hope she can pull through this.
Many thanks Jenna

Sorry to hear that Jenna, hope she pulls through, and that her suffering is a minimal as possible !

14 Oct 2005

My thoughts are with you. My mother in law died a couple of years ago from breast cancer and my own father died 3 months ago from lung cancer.
Take care
Peace and love

our thoughts are with you!

Hope everything goes ok

This has given me a reminder of when I found my lump. It was so scarey to go into that room and have the scan done. I had my results the same day. But she had to wait she must of been thinking so much. She is over 70 and is a smoker
I am frightened that We may lose her. I am hurting so much.
Luckily for me the scan was nothing
But this just shows that us ladies have to check ourselves regularly
Thank you all

My mother in law is really bad and I feel so sad. She is being operated on the 31st October. I am really hoping that she pulls through this.
It is so scarey when you lose someone to breast cancer

((hugs))) hope all goes well with the op sad

Thank you very much the family went to see her on sunday and that she looked ok. She seemed very happy and she said that she is ok deep down I know that she isn't. I think that she is afraid. I am hoping that this operation will help her. But we are all worried that we may lose her.
Does smoking make any difference to breast cancer.

19 Oct 2005

Very sorry to hear that, and I hope all goes well with the op,

19 Oct 2005

Thank you very much.
As you know that I found one earlier in the year. I am hoping that they have caught it in time
4cm by 2cm is that big.

Thanks for caring

19 Oct 2005

thats my pleasure
looks like u have got alot of friends on here who care about u which is nice to know
just wish that these things didnt happen anymore

19 Oct 2005

That is so true
I have already lost my auntie to breast cancer. It is a horrible illness and the loss of breasts must be so horrible for a women

19 Oct 2005

as a male i would have no idea what it must be like
but i can imagine its not a nice thing to happen
i knew some one who had testicular cancer but they manged to treat it just in time
i really hope it is all ok and that your family and friends are there if u need them

19 Oct 2005

she is just carrying on with life as if nothing is happening to here which I do not blame her really. Just have to carry on I suppose.

19 Oct 2005

jenna i guess her just carrying on as if nothing is wrong is her way of trying to put it to the back of her mind
and also to be strong for the family too

19 Oct 2005

I am trying to but not even her old husband knows they are divorced now

19 Oct 2005

does he still keep in contact with her
just sent u a pm by the way

20 Oct 2005

No but his sister sees him occasionally and he asked the question and she said no he does not know.

20 Oct 2005

Jenna, we've not met but my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. It is a terrible thing, and emphasises to all of us, male and female how important it is to check ourselves on a regular basis. As for your earlier post about how terrible it must be to lose a breast, my first reaction is : does that really matter? Surely the important thing is that your mum, or anyone having treatment for this comes through, and remains a part of your family for years to come. My very best wishes to you all. xx

20 Oct 2005

Thank you
That is true but some people do not come out of this they need lots and lots of treatment and chemo.
I have faith that she will pull through this.
