I am 35 yrs old when i was diagnosed with this disease Oct. last year.i had 3 surgery before we deside for a double mastectomy a week ago.still hard but im getting there.
The hard thing is i am awa...
first of all welcome to our great band of women. you have come to the right place for support.
I like you am far away from my family, I am living in Oz and all my familiy are in the UK. so i only had my husband also. Being the youngest of 6 sisters and 5 brothers and the only one in the family to get this horrible disease
Having never had anything like this in the family, we tend to want to shield them, Although they all supported me from afar with cards, phone calls and money to help with travel, I still didnt want to make a big deal out of it.
I just want to say take one day at a time, and make time for yourself while making this journey. and of course we are all here whether you want to rant, cry or laugh, we have a wealth of information on here with ladies who are going through or have been through the journey, so no question is stupid, so when you are feeling up to it, please pop in and keep up updated, If you have any problems with the site usage please yell out.
Regards Moira
