Oh my goodness, it is sad to see so many new members. Welcome !
Please remember that no question is too small or too silly. If something concerns you then come on here and ask.
Try to take someone with you to appointments as a second pair of ears - and take a list of any questions or concerns that you think about. This is about YOU and YOU are the most important. You are also your own best advocate.
Members here have "been there and done that" so know what you are going through and will be happy to help you in any way they can.0 -

I am glad to see so many members found the way to the network to get support. However, it is so concerning to see so many women diagnosed with BC. Beginning of the journey is hard and challenging but we have to keep going, focus, take care of ourselves and liaise with medical team. Being informed and get some knowledge helped me to go and still going through. This is a great website with so many useful resources. I wish all the new members all the best through this unpleasant and scary experience.
. And remember! There are no silly questions. 0
