Dear Kathy,
you are so lucky to have a caring and supportive husband. I only wish I had been so lucky. We all learn to cope with what life deals us . This Network is great for those who have been diagnosed recently. Many of us are here to help. Sometimes a hospital or community group helps. I found more help from a group of ladies who were doing post breast cancer exercises. Most of us had all our lymph nodes removed. Some like me with radiation to several places including the axilla.
There is so much supprt out there with BCNA & their pink kits when in hopsital, regular forums, this site; also the McGrath Breast Care nurses which started after my diagnosis 6 years ago now. research by most Unis & research facilities resulting in better treatment options & screening.
No matter what you age you are not alone. If you could indicate your age, & location I am sure there may be people near you to help if you wish.
6 years cancer free after high grade tripple positive cancer. Still on Arimidex and wearing a garment for my lymphoedema.
Let us know how radiation is going - 5 weeks is less than many of us have.
