Best wishes to you all and lots of love and prayers. Lots of things they can do for breast cancer these days and I pray it won't be long until you can put this all behind you. Xx
Very sorry to hear your news, but remember this is very beatable in 2013.
I have a couple of friends who have been in the same situation as your good lady, and I am pleased to say following treatment some time back are still with us, and seem to have a very different outlook on their lives now. So when she is better be ready to spend a lot more time on campsites... and bikes... and other wacky things where you will struggle to keep up with her!
Remember to keep yourself in good heath going forward as you are going to be needed to provide some significant moral support throughout the process your wife will undertake.
I wish you both well, and that the treatment process is short and totally effective for your wife. I am sure that I can speak for others on here and say that we look forward to hearing good news from you later on.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep you informed how things go.
Mrs CJ has the final say on camping as a family ATM and she has no inclination to go camping right now. Once the treatment starts and we see how things go with how she feels then we might try a weekend as a family again. Until then it's me and little legs all summer. Looking forward to doing some Dad and Lad stuff, already got a day set aside to go sea fishing out of Bridlington. Manchester for the Lego store is a goer too. Looking to take him to another concert, took him to see the Misfits in the spring and he loved it, we fancy some more old skool punk gigs (he's 10!).

As Claire has said. Healing thoughts are sent your way Mrs CJ. Not everyone may write it, but you can bet all those who read your post has sent them anyway.
My sister is on the same journey, a wee bit further along but definitely on the up-slope. I wish Mrs CJ and your family all the strength and courage needed, and some humour where it can be found, to face it all.
------------- Camping - emotional resilience in action, a triumph of hope over adversity and antidote to virtual reality.
Well said geoffprinter. Can i add my best wishes to your wife too. I really hope she makes a speedy recovery and you are all sat outside your tent as a family very soon again xx
Had a meeting with the oncologist this week, chemo set up for next Wednesday. CT scan tomorrow. It's a roller coaster ATM, the bad stuff starts next week. Have a plan in place with work to come off ambulances and work single handed on response cars till we are clear of the chemo. Set up a new rota to give me more time with Clare and Cole.
Here we go, it's all starting next week. Thanks for all the words of support, Clare reads them all and they are a great comfort for her. We can beat this.

I am glad to hear the treatment starts so soon, the sooner started the sooner she will get over it. Prayers for all of you from me too. I hope you'll soon be able to take up family camping again!

Hi my thoughts are with you and your wife. I know how she feels having been diagnosed myself nearly 10 years ago. I am still here to tell the tale. The feeling when you are first told is hard to describe and I just wanted to lock myself way from everyone. However with good friends and family I was not allowed to do that. You will have your good days and your bad days and you need family and friends to help you along I couldn`t have done it without them. Sty strong be supportive and best of all make sure your wife knows you love her and still find her attractive. She will think all sorts of things while she is going through this all you can do is be there for her.
So sorry to hear this news. Must be such a shock for all of you.
Wishing Mrs CJ all the best with her treatment, and agree that she should do whatever she wants regarding camping, and pretty much everything else right now!
My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. She's now out the other side, but was very lucky and just needed two lots of surgery, fortunately no chemo. I hope the chemo isn't too tiring for her.
