Sorry the following names wont tag for me...@Annabelle @Debbie Jenkinsand a special hi to @Sophie_BCNA one of the staff from BCNA who help direct us when we are new or needing help to find support etc.If you are new click on discussions at the top and read or find posts that might interest you be aware that just because a post says "Nerves kicking in" or "5 years on" doesnt mean that is all that is discussed within that post. NO question is a silly question here .... We have all faced the fears you might be facing or a loved one might be facing, we are more than happy to help you find the information and support you need to get thru this Roller Coaster ride called Breast Cancer. I personally say hi , sorry you have had to come and find this group as we all wish no one had Breast Cancer, but please know this forum is a balanced healthy way to get some support as you or a loved one is going through BC. so on behalf of all users of BCNA online forums I say welcome.

@Brenda5 just saw your welcome on the Friday update post, we have so many newbies joining the above list is just from 10th feb until today.....

Thanks for the welcome. Even just having used the forum for the first time this week I somehow feel somewhat better. Whether it is the supportive and non judgemental way advice is given or the knowledge that there are others who have or are going down a similar route, it has been helpful. I really should have come here much earlier in this unwanted event, and as always you can find people whose situation is something you may find harder to cope with then your own and I then wonder at my self centeredness. A big hug to all

hi Now curly love your name in here... :) we all find our way here at different times in the roller coaster ride... I don't believe that it is self centeredness to be stressed or battling coping with this disease for anyone... Hugs and acceptance Alice aka Soldier Crab

Hi and thanks Alice, thought I'd try a name that is a bit descriptive, but fun. There are some positives in all of this if you look, (and depending how you feel at the time!) Hope you're in a good head place at the moment, hugs, Linda

So you are new here Welcome aboard a really supportive forum

Another new person .Looking forward to finding my way in a forum. Eighteen years since my diagnosis but I still hear the words "grey shadow on your mammogram, come in next week after Easter and we will "do further tests"! My journey has been long and continues. So lovely to be part of the summit and feel reinvigorated by the stories

@mum2jj I feel it brings them into the discussion boards where they can easily read the posts, I remember when I found it daunting when I was first a member and stressed out re BC and what was next etc etc....
