I put on here a few weeks ago I had a scan and it showed so mush more than I hoped, I found out I had Brest cancer and needed chemo and ALS surgery then radiotherapy I don’t know how I am going to cope with it all the MS has there been anyone else been through this I really am finding this hard to deal with
Hi tattybear, I haven’t been through the trauma of being told I have Breast cancer and can’t imagine how you must be feeling. I can only offer you my sympathy. Are they doing the surgery soon as it’s sooner the better? Life is hard enough to cope with having ms and I’m sure that you will be strong enough to fight this battle as well. Try taking one step at a time and take it slowly. I will be thinking of you and you have my very best wishes. Please do let us know how you get on. Take care.

Hello Tattybear,
I am so sorry to read of your depressing news. My friend went through a very similar experience, and then again when her cancer returned. But this was seven (?) years ago and she is now very well. So don’t think that there is no light at the end of the tunnel as there still is. Best of luck, and please keep us informed of your progress.
With love,
Moira
Thank you for posting - I had been wondering how you had got on. I am very sorry that the news was not what you wanted to hear. That a desperately load you have to bear at the moment, with such a lot of health issues to deal with all at once. I really hope that, now you’ve had the bad news, everything will be moving in the right direction from now on and that you will soon be on the road to recovery and be able to put the cancer treatment behind you. It must all look very daunting at the moment, though, and I really feel for you. I hope you can have a bit of time to catch your breath over Christmas and hav a bit of an escape from it all for a bit. This sounds like one of those times in life we look back on in years to come and wonder how on earth we managed to deal with all that - but deal with it we did, and so will you.

HI there,
Just wanted to tell you this. My Aunty, who has had MS for 40 years also had breast cancer. That was at least 30 years ago. She had a mammogram and has beenn fit ever since. She is now over 75, uses a wheelchair but apart from that she is doing fine. Keep strong and remember. This too will pass. Sending luck and hugs.

Hi, I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know it will be hard but try to just take it one step at a time, don’t think too far ahead, try to just focus on what is happening now. If you want to look at any positives, take something from the fact that you have been diagnosed, you know what your treatment will be an it is starting soon. Cheryl:-)
Hi tattybear.Just read your post & understand what you must be going through.I was diag with spms in 2010 & in Jan 2012 diag with breast cancer.I had two lots of surgery in Feb & March to have all my lymph nodes removed & then a cavity shaving due to the grade of the cancer.In fact I came out of hospital a day before my 50th birthday.I then had 5 months of chemo & radiotherapy everyday for 5 weeks (weekends off).I can only comment on my own experience & I won’t lie it has been tough & not very pleasant but you will get through it & time really doe’s fly.With all the hospital appointments etc you don’t get chance to think about it much plus you’ll meet lots & I mean lots of other people that are going through the same trauma as yourself.Not that thats going to make you feel better but there’s lots of support out there if needed.Personally it’s not the cancer that bothers me.I wouldn’t want to go through the last 12 months again but they can get rid of cancer these days with all the treatments.It’s the MS that gets me down & there’s no cure for that !!! I have made comments to people who I think have been horrified that I’d rather have cancer than MS because hopefully they can get rid of cancer.I do feel I have a right to say that after having both.I haven’t been ill with the cancer apart from the treatment which isn’t pleasant but the progression of the MS these past couple of years has been horrifying.I really do sympathise with you & wish you all the best.It’s not going to be the best few months of your life but things will get better - infact I found that I coped with it a lot better than my husband- it totally knocked him for six !! I’m sure you’ll have family & friends to help you through it-they all rally round at times like this. This is the first time I’ve posted on this site but felt I had to reply.I learnt a lot from this site when I was first diag with MS & it was a big help.
Best Wishes anniepc xxx
