Hi Meg
I am sorry you are going through this but glad that you have joined this network. I guess after my diagnosis in Nov lat year what I have learnt from all the wonderful women here is that we all cope in different ways. We have good and bad days. For me the waiting times for results and before surgery, then just before chemo and now radiation were my worst times. Once I get into each stage I tend to feel much more positive and less fearful - probably because something is actually happening. I also come on here for great advice from others about anything that concerns me - that's a big part of my coping strategy. It helps me to hear from others who have gone through what I am going through and to learn first hand of what others have tried to get through side effects etc. It's also a great place to vent and to celebrate she you get through each little step with women who truly understand.
Take it one day at a time. You will get through this.
Best of luck and take care. Remember there is always somebody on here if you need us.
