Drowning in anxiety and fear
Hi everyone.
This is is my first blog ever and one that I am both keen to write in the hope of gaining some support and release from the emotional pain but that I am also fearful of writing as it ...

Dear Anita,
I'm so sorry to hear that you have to go through this, and I totally understand how terrifying these first few weeks are. I also had surgery to remove a 4cm tumour from my right breast, and I'm now halfway through my chemo with radiotherapy to follow. The best advice I can give you is just take one day at a time and try not to worry about the things that you can't change. Easier said than done, I know! And take advantage of the fabulous resources and support networks out there - the kit is a fantastic source of information. Try not to overwhelm yourself with research - it's very important to be informed but there comes a point in time when your head can't hold any more cancer facts and stats. I found it really helpful to have a friend or family member read through the info and then tell me the important bits.
Be strong - you've got this!!!
