New to group
Hello everyone,
I am new to this group so thought I would introduce myself.
My name is Caitlin, I am 29 years old & I was diagnosed with triple positive (Oestrogen, Progesterone & HER2 positive) ...

Hi Kirsten,
I'm glad your family is a good support but I'm sorry that your husband isn't coping/supporting you very well. It is a very scary thing to have to deal with & I guess everyone handles it differently. I'm sure in time it'll become easier for him. My partner struggled at the beginning as well but he's amazing now.
I completely understand what you say about the hurried nature of things! I'm just now starting to wish that I had frozen some embryos, but it's too late to think about that now.
Sometimes I feel isolated as well, I am always the youngest in the treatment room having chemo. I envy my friends still going about their normal lives however my diagnosis has really put things about my life into perspective. I'm trying to remain positive & am looking forward to the next chapter after treatment!
Sounds like we'll be having Radiotherapy around the same time.
We're certainly not alone :)
All the best with your surgery next week Kirsten.
