Any advice for a newbie?
Hi everyone,
This is still so overwhelming and surreal. I was diagnosed on 28 May 2015 and had a lumpectomy on Tuesday, 2 June 2015. I get my results of the surrounding area of my tumor this Friday...

Hi Tracey,
i have trouble sleeping, so this is my time to read and communicate with my cancer family! I know how you feel when it comes to being scared and anxious, but not the depression. I have a brother who suffers with depression and I understand how hard it is to stay on top of it. Please make sure you continue to talk to us! The cancer fear will pop up every now and then, but it won't consume your life!!!
I have advanced cancer and yes I am pretty sick, but I need to live life to the full. You need to try and take control of your thoughts and tell cancer that it won't win! My motto is "I live with cancer, I'm not dying of cancer" I hope this helps xxxxx
