Absolutely @GorgyS - it is a bit of a love/hate relationship - but we are a lot better off by having 'found' BCNA, than not! ....
BCNA also enables those who've 'been thru it' & are able to help .... to help advise or lead the 'newbies' as they feel their way thru the rigmarole that is diagnosis & treatment & outcome ....
I hope you are going OK @GorgyS xx
A good friend put me onto BCNA when I told her I was diagnosed with BC .... a year later, she celebrated her 5 years clear - but sadly was then diagnosed with a new nasty cancer that had metastasised ... and sadly she passed away a few years ago now. :( I've just passed my 5 year 'all clear' but am still very aware that things could go belly up .... so we must all remain vigilant & "if in doubt - get checked out'' when anything untoward happens - be it persistent aches & pains or lumps & bumps .....
I have, personally, made some amazing life-long friends thru BCNA & I know that I am not the only one. We've met 'off line', even interstate - and enjoyed spirited discussions both online & in private banter. ;)
As @Blossom1961 says - it is amazing how you can transcend language ... with caring & we/they 'can' be understood xx
take care, stay well xx
