To all the newly diagnosed I just want to say hugs and more hugs we have you in our thoughts and totally understand the feelings of disbelief as we have all had them and been there....
But from my heart I want to tell you it does get better and I am so relieved it does and has for me. Looking back I certainly did not handle this well coming from a health fanatic and fitness fanatic the anger I felt for many months consumed me.. only now am I at peace with it and count my blessings not my problems anymore and once again enjoy life way more than before.
I no longer say why me constantly? Because I truly believe coming to terms with it has a lot to do with the wonderful people on this website which I am not proud to say bore the brunt of my frustrations and despair on more than one occasion and I hope they all accept my sincere apologies for this,however still they ignored it and helped me unconditionally. There is a light at the end of this horrible tunnel but once we accept help and kindness along the journey we come out the other side a new and most grateful person. So hang on in there and get on this truly wonderful website full of ladies that are willing to wrap their understanding cyba arms around us and squeeze us tight. At the time you may not fully understand how important it is but I know now ...... it really is. And I thank all these truly beautiful souls for helping me so much..

Sam, what a heartfelt and honest post. Yes, it brought tears to my eyes as well. We just don't know how we will react to a cancer diagnosis, it is such a personal thing. As we travel along we go from disbelief, to anger, challenging ourselves and others and finally to a gradual acceptance and healing. The beautiful thing about that is we are then strong enough to help others just starting out. Sending you a huge hug Sam and wishing you peaceful and happy days. Jane xx0
