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.
