Hi Sue
Sorry you had to join us. I was diagnosed at 36 in 2007. At the time my children were 2 and 4. I had a mastecomy and chemo. Not long after I was diagnosed I woke up in the middle of the night and said to my husband that I had just had a horrible nightmare, unfortunately it was real. It is a scary time, but you will get through it.
I am not a believer of the positive thinking theory. But I do believe that I am going to have a long and very happy life. (you will find that everyones experience and journey is different). I was positive that my hair was going to fall out, I was positve that this whole breast cancer thing suxed. I thought that if I didn't think positive things all the time, bad stuff was going to happen. So I chose not to beat myself up about the whole think positive theory. So take your time, read others stories and find the right path for YOU.
Good luck with it all. Ask away.
