So you are new here Welcome aboard a really supportive forum

@"Soldier Crab" you are AMAZING! :)

We have some new members welcome @skartknet, @SusanV36, @MO2G, @sassyliz, @"Sharyn Lahey". I want to welcome you and say we are here to help guide you in working out what you might need information support and laughter we do laugh here and share the good and the bad days nothing is taboo in here. 
feel free to introduce yourself  and ask any questions you might have about BC or the how to navigate around this online forum.

I love your name @Sparkles I imagine you having a sparkle to your eye and being ever watchful...  We don't mind lurkers I was one of those when I first joined the online forum back in 2012... But now I realise I have the knowledge to be a supporter to those going through the early stages of treatments etc and encourage you all that we do get through this ROLLER Coaster ride called Breast Cancer... ( I hate roller coasters)  please butt into our conversations if you want something clarified or you know how to relate to someone else needing some encouragement or help to find information.
Hugs and Energy,
Alice aka Soldier Crab xoxo 

Hi everyone I am usually a 'lurker' in forums like this - love to read others' posts but not really into posting myself. It is a sign of how welcome I feel and how supportive you all are that I have actually posted a couple of comments. If I have to be on this journey I am happy to be on it with you all.

What a nice thing to do welcome all

Yes I used to be called  touchy crab  but after my diagnosis  My best friend said no you are Soldier crab.....it stuck

Very good head space  4 yrs out with good review 2 weeks ago. 

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

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

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
