During the first few weeks of shock and fear I found the kind and settling voices on here were so reassuring. Problem is, there are always other threads going on that terrify us BUT we have to choose to not read those if we are in a fragile place. This isn’t a site just for the new; it’s also for those in the middle of tough treatment, and those who are weary survivors, and those who are struggling with secondary cancer. Venting to others who understand us is vital at times. We have to choose what to read and what to leave well alone for our mental health.
Always with kindness and empathy. We are (mostly) women together with all our hopes, fears and often grief.
