hi all u lovely lady's:) well I'm in my 30 's and have finish my op,chemo and radio . I got on this site as a thought it would be helpful with my decision about having a reconstruction using the lat d...
I too am sorry that you have "been scared" by this site. I am an Online Champion and it is my responsibility, along with others, to welcome all new users to the site. I check the site a couple of times a day and have never seen a blog that was negative or unsupportive. Did you find it by doing a specific search of a topic? I have had two diagnosis of bc. My first in Oct 2006 and the seond in December 2010. During last year, whilst completing treatment, this site was my savour as I could "compare notes" with others and know that I was not alone and also assured that the side effects that I was experiencing were "normal". I could also offer support to others by telling "my story" through my own experiences. I have never ever had this kind of positive supportive network of amazing women. Yes BC is horrific and only those who have been there know of the horror. I am truly sorry that you have not been able to gain the love and support from our "Pink Sister" site. It does take a lot of courage to get through bc and anyone who has had chemo is in the "very brave" category. As Chris says there is group for Young Womens group on this site. I always used to feel so sad for young women who were diagnosed with bc until I had a realisation. I knew that my own bc experience "woke me up" to "know the real meaning of life" at age 50. Then I realised that the the young ones had a chance to "know the real meaning of life" at an earlier age!!!! One thing I can say is that there is always a positive that comes from an negative. My positive is that my life has been so enriched by the wonderful women and men that I have encountered on this bc journey. I hope that this "old chook" has given you some hope that may alleviate some of your anxiety. I now enjoy every minute and "don't cut the small stuff". XLeonie
