i'm pretty angry right now. i spent 6 hours at the doc yesterday to find out that i have cancer. i figured i'd tell you people here since i like most of you the most. 24 is way too young for breast cancer, i think it's my genes. oh well.

sidla, how's that for sad times?

That is quite upsetting news Kendra, and I'm really sorry to hear it - it's genuinly put a dampner on my day (although I doubt it's even one iota of what you must be going through curently) I'm sure I won't be alone in wishing you the best of luck in beating this thing

It does put all my petty lame-ass emotional problems into perspective, and I'm sorry if I've been so caught up in my own 'problems' to listen to yours. Really sad to hear this Kendra, but I'm sure you'll be OK. I'm assuming that it's been caught early enough to be treatable?

VERY sorry to hear this.

Ditto - I never thought I could be affected by people on the internet, but having met you (albeit only the once) I feel extremely sad at the news. And what I put in the PM.

thanks guys. it's a huge downer and when i think about it a little too much i can feel myself wanting to freak out, but really i'm ok. this isn't a shock because i've been pretty sure since i was a kid that i had the breast cancer gene and this proves it more or less.

it's very treatable, so i'm not going to worry too much till that starts, probably next week.

Sorry to hear this. I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through.

Remain positive though. I'm not medically trained, but I'm sure people who remain positive through out it all always succeed.

Take care, and my thoughts are with you.

thanks guys. funny thing is, i feel perfectly fine. actually a little good. i probably won't feel truly ill till i start treatment, but i have a couple weeks of tests before that happens. as it is, i still don't fully believe i have cancer. i wouldn't be surprised if in 4 weeks i'm in hear moaning about how i see death and he's coming for me.

Sorry to hear the news Kendra, that's not a great thing to happen to anyone. I'm sure with the age we live in though that medical treatment should be great.
Take care and good luck xx.
