Does anyone just fight for cancer alone?

Thanks Jackie...........I usually very strong, but I lost my track occasionally, especially I worried and missed my son so much.

It can be hard to find support when you are going through all this. A local support group would be helpful if there is one in your area. Robyn's suggestion of asking the breast care nurse about this is a good one. You could also try asking the Cancer Council about support in your area. The breast care nurse organized for someone from the cancer council to contact me a few weeks after surgery once I knew what other treatment I would be needing. They are then able to match you up with a volunteer who has had a similar diagnosis and treatment schedule to you. It can really help to talk with someone who has been through treatment and is now doing well. Going to a Look Good Feel Better workshop is also a good way to meet other ladies who are going through treatment in your area. Just google to find out about where and when these are happening in your area. I have just stumbled upon a few ladies in the local community who have had breast cancer in the past and are now doing well many years down the track ( 10 years clear, 21 years clear and 9 years clear). They have been very friendly and only too happy to share their experiences. But always remember this network means none of us have to go through treatment etc alone. We can be here for each other . Keep in touch and take care. Deanne xxx

I felt sad to read your post.If you are feeling alone,you are not alone when it comes to the ladies on this network.However I understand you are probably meaning alone in everyday life, and not having someone to share this journey with.Have you thought about joining a group of others in the same position as you.Where do you live Rosanna?I am sure that many others will reply to your post,with great ideas,and who knows,you may have a support group nearby.Do you have a breast care nurse at the hospital where you go.They often have good ideas about where you can find supports.In the meantime Rosanna,keep on writing here,and we are all here to support and help you any way we can.Sending you a big cyber hug :). xoxoxo.
