Like all the lovely ladies above have said, welcome to this wonderful network. We are all here to listen and to support you through this very distressing time. We've all been through it and we totally understand how scared you are. I was diagnosed 20th December 2012 so I'm on the other side of the tunnel now. I had two tumours in my left breast, had a lumpectomy, 6 months of chemo, bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction, I'm still having three weekly infusions of Herceptin (targeted therapy for HER2 + tumours) and I'm on daily hormone therapy tablets for at least 5 years. It all sounds a long long process doesn't it but I must say that 2013 went by really quickly. I think once you get into a routine (and you do) with a plan of action, you'll be busy with appointments and treatments and time will go by quickly.
Hang in there and stay as positive as you can. This IS doable and your Pink Sisters are here to help you through. Jump on here anytime to update us with what's going on with you, you can rant and rave or just chat. We are here for you :)
