Hi Scared Mum,
I think reading your post, brings all of us back to our initial diagnosis and we are all feeling for you. I guess thats the benefit of this site, rather than listening to well meaning people around you.
The only advice I would offer anyone is that there are so many different 'types' of breast cancer. So not everyone is the same, nor are the treatment plans when you are hearing different stories. That was 1 big lesson for me.
The other thing I would say, encourage her to read only the positive stories of successful outcomes like Kylie Minogue, Olivia Newton John and Sally Obermeder and many other non-famous people on this site. Thinking positively and blowing away negative thoughts is crucial to your wellbeing. I use positive thinking meditation which calls the chemo chair the 'healing chair'.
And finally, only read up to what stage you are at in your path. Dont read ahead - its too scary. Taking bite sized portions of information meant for you at the right time is also manageable.
Sending you and your baby big hugs.
