Scared !!!
Hi, I have just been diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer. Im so scared, wanting so many questions answered.....
Does anyone know if I'll need Radiation or Chemo? How will it effect my husband and my children?
Id really love to talk to someone...x

I so agree with you on the positive attitude Louise. It's not always the way I have felt, but it has been for the most part, and I agree it makes you feel better, cope better. On the down side of being positive ;-)....I remained so active during my chemo (four rounds of AC, last one yesterday yay!), the drop offs of pre-cooked meals stopped after round one when friends saw I was down the pool, doing laps, the day after my first round :-).
But having written the above, we are all hard wired differently, and for some being and staying positive is a harder road to stick to, especially when dealing with depression, on top of diagnosis, treatment and all the side effect joys that can bring.
I just hope for everyone there comes a time when they feel the can breathe, and move on, happy in themselves again.
