Kathryn, I too am sorry that you have found yourself here. I was diagnosed on the 5th November, Melbourne Cup Day and completely understand how you are feeling and the enormity of this event. You have come to the right place though and I, like others here will support you. Since joining this network I don't feel so alone. Early days! We have to take one step at a time. Crying is good, just let the tears flow. You will feel better for it. I am sending you a big big hug.
Love

Today it is one year since my Doctor rang me, with the words I'm so sorry, you have Cancer, well here I'am one year gone so is my Cancer, after Mastectomy, Chemo, then Radiotherapy, let the tears flow like Hazel said, I wish I had shares in Kleenex, I think I cryed everyday, but I got through it with the help from this web site, I'm having my Left Boob off in February, this may sound strange but I'm looking forward to having it all over with. You will get through this, just keep getting on this site when you want to vent, you will have lots of us keeping a look out for you. Remember you are never alone.

Everyone has said it all here already. I'm so sorry that you have joined us but you have definitely come to the right place. The love and support from our wonderful Pink Sisters is amazing. Any time you want to share your worries, tell us your news or just rant and rave, you go right ahead. We will be here listening and holding your hand. This is a roller coaster ride but you will be through to the end before you know it. It's almost my one year anniversary since I heard those awful words and I can't believe how quickly this year has gone and my cancer too has gone.
Be kind to yourself and let yourself grieve. It's healthier than trying to be brave and keep it all bottled up inside.
Take things one day at a day Kathryn.
Hugs to you

Hi Kathryn,
Yes it's all been said here and please know that we all shed tears for you and all of us. I found the other big thing was all the info given.
As you are in a state of shock it's good to say 'can you write it down' or even, as I do take a note book and write the words you hear. Then you can re ask or go away and think and ask next time (or call).
Best of luck for your journey xx Sue

Hi everyone,
I didn't know how to read the messages I'm sorry until now, not only that had forgotten the password and log in everything was a bit much. I'm a bit of a mess tonight, got given an extra week of radiation and I'm so sore and burnt, and the heat of 40 plus degrees has not helped.
I am truly at the point of just not wanting to go for treatment tomorrow. I'm exhausted, I'm sore and I'm a wreck.
No longer able to be brave for my kids, I cry so much.
Wish things were as they used to be, but it never will be again.0 -

Hi Kathryn
I'm so sorry you are feeling like this. It must be horrible. Burn on top of burn. I can't imagine how painful that would be. hang in there. One more week to go after all you have been through.
I start my chemo next week and of course not looking forward to it. I guess its better than the alternative (dying).
I'll be praying for you.
Love

I have just read your post and feel so sorry that you are feeling so emotionally and physically exhausted. I do really hope that you have woken this morning feeling a little better and more able to approach your last radition therapy. It has been terribly hot and it must be so hard for you trying to be brave for your kids. Do you have anyone who is helping and supporting you?
I wish I could be there to give you a big hug personally. But I am thinking of you and praying that you will find comfort and a sense of calm in this storm.
Lots of love

I know what you mean about wishing things were as they as used to be, I did that myself for some years. But you know, you have already been strong up to this point in your treatment, you can do this, you are nearly there. Sending you a big hug, hope your pain eases,

You poor darling. I hope treatment today was tolerable for you and it won't be any worse than you have already been through. Kathryn it's only been a couple of months and you're still having to adjust to this 'journey'. Take some deep breaths and just breath. It will get better and you will be through it. We are all here for you and sending you positive vibes that things will improve very soon.
One day at a time
Lots of love
