New to site.

Welcome to this site but sorry you've had to join us.You are probably still in shock from your bad news.It's surreal,like some nightmare,except when you wake up each morning you remember -o that's right ,it's real.Then that anxiety,sick to the pit of your stomach feeling kicks in again. I went to the chemist and got an over the counter pill to help with sleep until I saw the surgeon.There is no rush to tell everyone.You'll find that when you do, they will be abit in shock too and fire a million questions at you.I've had breast cancer twice and I sure handled things better the second time around.Ofcourse I told my husband and 2 grown up girls straight away.I then told my mum and siblings after I'd seen the surgeon and had a plan. I was more calm by that stage and could give them info as well. At work I told my boss only.I said I would work up to surgery(2 weeks) and then tell my colleagues a day or so before I left.The first time I had bc I told my work mates straight away and for weeks then they were teary and hugging me and it was hard to focus on work and stay strong. There is absolutely no right or wrong way to do this and boy,is it hard.It's good to keep busy while you are waiting -we have to do alot of that.Also do things that might help calm you- a long walk for some-for me it's meditating in my spa. We know what you are going through so blog back here any time for info,support or just to vent.It's been over 2 years now since my last breast cancer and Im fine now.I found this site to be a great comfort and a wealth of information.
