I agreed to start this thread mainly because Angela (Angiebabe) wished to make known something that she feels is important to others who may have a similar worry. She, and I too, think it would help her and others to discuss this on this forum.
After discussions last night in a similar thread, she revealed privately to me that she has been suffering from breast cancer.

I doubt that any of us would have guessed that, because of her positivity, and the way she adds something extra special to each thread.

I would add that the thread title itself was, of course, Angela's idea.

But there’s a lesson there – because, rather than sympathy (although kind words go a long way), positive messages are what are needed sometimes to help people get through difficult times, and I’ve learnt that from her.

She is due a mastectomy in 3 weeks, and yet she is so cheery. It really helps to put things in perspective. This thread is to discuss anything you like with her, be it how she is coping with cancer (I am sure she would be more than willing to respond), or your own advice/personal experiences.

That was so unexpected.
I hope everything turns out okay.
&keep up the positivity Ang!
Your posts continue to make me, and loads of other member smile.
&that's a lovely quality.
<3

[Xander]

I didn't expect that, Keep up your positivity, and have positive thoughts and everything will be fine, and turn out ok.
You certainly bring a smile to my face with all your posts and please continue to do so.

[JOSHUAH!]

Ang, your posts make me chuckle! Although I've never spoken to you, you seem like such an upbeat person.

Positivity can get you through a lot of rough times, so stay positive! I'm sure everybody here will be positive for your health aswell.

WOW!! that was quick, thanks Ash for the help with this thread.

After last night someone posted a problem they were having and it brought home to me what Ive been going through although, Ive had time to ajust to the news and the thearphy, the last of which is in 3 weeks time.

I just want this to be a thread where maybe I could help, even by discussing it with Ash, and Nickyy it has helped me to get prepared for the easiest bit, but also hardest bit too, (the bra's they have are awful) looks like I may go down the Jordan route and have a melon inserted inside my chest

I don't want sympathy honestly, I just want to help cope and make things easier myself and being able to write this IS a real God send as time gets nearer to that opp
Well as Ash has said here if anyone has anything similar or even been through this then please come and add something here.
Believe me the relief Ive had speaking about this to Ash has been tremendous and if that can be the case for someone else then I'll be over the moon with joy.

Thanks again Ash, and everyone else, Angela x

Oh btw,, I've been told the opp will more than likely stop this cancer spreading all the other biopsy reports show clear signs everywhere cept this right breast, which darn well aint moving ... so no morbid thoughts I'm not going anywhere unless of course the hospital burns down

[MR.K!]

I really hope your health improves, i too havent had the opportunity to speak to you on the forum, but your posts are always so positive and happy !

[JadeLauren_x]

That was really unexpected, but keep up your postivity, none of us on the forum would have guessed as your a really positive person & always seem to be happy... id say your an inspiration to others... I hope you get better very soon... <3 x

[MarkWaldorf]

I hope you get better soon, Angie. From what I've seen in your posts, you're a very kind and caring person and I hope you can fight it and come out stronger than before.

[Tom4784]

I really didn't see that coming.

What I'm going to say is that you're a fantastic person, funny, caring and incredibly positive so I wish you the best and hope you get well soon.

P.S on a lighter note, great choice of topic title!

[AngRemembered]

Rather than thank people individually I will say another thanks here, but now will only respond if someone asks or has some info specifically to breast cancer, that way it will save my fingers too

Btw, My sister had the idea of typing out all your messages to take with me we both know what fun i have here the time alone spent speaks volumes to how much I love this new 'home' so all your messages no matter how small will really mean something to me, and I really do appreciate every single one of them.

yes, I spoke with my agent today who specialises in ways to gain maximum attention , you may know her she's in BB well for the next 9 hours at least till she gets back to work tomorrow but it was she who reccomended the boob job title, and thats why she's worth every penny as an expert in attention seeking schemes

(only kiddin )

[Lauren]

Ang, trust you to grab all of our attention with something like this! (Only kidding ).

I'm not going to say the cliché lines of "I'm sorry to hear that", but I do empathise enormously with how you and your family must be feeling right now.

Remember; your mind is stronger than your body, so when your body fails somewhat, your mind (and PMA) is always there to keep you up.

On the plus side, you get lots of sympathy (and sympathy chocolates and wine!!) for it.

[Tom]

Just think of all the presents (including grapes ) that you'll get, and the big party you can throw at the end of it when you've got the all clear

[AngRemembered]

Thats a good Idea Tom, I'm sure it will be organised by someone who owes me in the numerous bedroom tidying hours Ive done for 'her'

As for the grapes Tom great idea because I can get my friend ><
to tread them all into more wine

Oh and Lauren, yes the plan worked I got all the attention so you could relax on the moderating side whilst you go sunbathe in the garden watching the tennis i swear nobody will notice shhhhhhhhhhhh
(and yes, with one breast less I can now afford to put the extra weight somewhere else, so its a right choccy wine feast asap)

[GiRTh]

This is very sad news I'm pleased you're positive.

You're in good hands so you'll be ok.

[_Tom_]

Aww, Im so sorry Ang
I hope you get better and good luck
I love your posts and you always cheer me up
Love you!

[GhettoSuperstar]

Sorry to hear this news but Ang you are hilarious, your posts make me have a good ol giggle to myself. Be strong babe. X

[Mrluvaluva]

You know Angie. You are so positive, and you bring a bit of light into my life on here. I find you funny and uplifting. You have no negativity and that is such a good thing.

You have become a popular member in a short space of time, so you must have the same affect on other people too.

I just hope we do the same for you.

I wish you well,

[Scarlett.]

Good Luck Angie!
You are always so positive and fun! which is something this forum needs

[~Kizwiz~]

Ang, all I can add to so many kind words is that you are a very welcome member to TiBB, your posts always bring light and cheer to the forum.

From the moment you started posting its was clear to see you are a very kind and giving person who always finds the fun in life.

Keep your chin up and always remember that you have many many people supporting you on TiBB

[officialleafan]

Well you know how i feel about it Angie. Don't forget to message me when your cured

[Shaun]

Aww Angie - I really hope everything works out OK for you because I don't think there's anybody less deserving of this

I'll try not to sound too negative, since positivity is the key - so I wish you the best of luck and hope that you don't need it

[Rocko]

Love you Ange!

I may go down the Jordan route and have a melon inserted inside my chest

And if anyone dares smear them with bloody pizza
