WOW, this has been amazing, I joined my frist group today and wrote a post asking for advice on chemo... the support has been amazing, I have wonderful support from family and friends but felt that no one really understood how I was feeling and what I am going through. However here I have found everyone understands me and knows exactly how I am feeling and therfore know exactly what to say and what I need to hear. Thank you so much for this online support group it is amazing!!
I so remember the start of my chemo I was so scared, when I arrived the nurse gave me something to settle me down I was a wreck.
I too didn't want chemo, I had watched others before me go through it and it was just not in my plan, but cancer has its own mind and it has nothing to do with what you want.
After listening to the doctors and talking with my family I went ahead and yes it was unpleasant but here I am finished with all my surgeries and treatment and back to as normal a life as I can have. We survive it with so much love and support from these ladies.
We are all here in your corner ready to help if needed.
Sending hugs

Thank you for your support Janey. My husband told me last night that he can already see the change in me after joining, and that I seem more positive and hopeful. I will look for the 'getting started' group and read their blogs for help, thank you for the suggestion.
Glad you have found us on the network, it's invaluable how much everyone understands what we are feeling. Hope everything goes alright for you with your treatment, take care,
