Hi Everyone
This is my first post, so it may be a little long.
Really need to find out if there is anyone else in this situation or have been through this and any ideas on how to cope best...
I...
Use this website as often as you can, it has kept me sane as I have moved to Tasmania and dont have any friends here as yet to lean on. Just knowing youre not on your own. Plus you can phone where you get treated and there is emotional support from the hospital via a counsellor for free, and if you have a breast care nurse you like, or can contact the people at the cancer council, phone for help immediately. Dont try to work it out on your own when there are professionals full of great advice, sympathy and help when really needed. Getting Cancer is one way to discover truth in people, good and bad. This is major for you, and you need instant help, I hope you get it quickly. I couldnt imagine how aweful the situation is. My Mums first husband left her as a single mother when she was the first case of TB in Australia. So you can imagine what it was like back then with zero help, and instantly got kicked out of the Catholic Church at the time. Her parents were alcoholics, and I can only imagine how desperate she was in those days. Years later, she met my fabulous Dad, who was been here carer since 55 when she got breast cancer. Yeh I know, doesnt help you one bit, but my heart goes out to you. Perhaps with councelling it can be sorted between you! Regards Bel xx
