Welcome to our sisterhood Joy. Although we never want to really welcome anyone on this journey. I was diagnosed 5 days before Christmas and had a lumpectomy and 2 sentinel nodes removed, then 6 months of chemo, still on three weekly Herceptin infusions until next May, bilateral mastectomy and DIEP/TRAM reconstruction and 10 years of hormone treatment.

It saved my sanity.
So Joy I'm sure you will find many new friends here to hold your hand and to laugh and cry with you along the way.
Love and hugs
