Unwanted but new journey

Glad to hear your anxiety is easing. I'm relatively new to this site, i had a lumpectomy mid october and have had one chemo treatment so far which is going ok.  My anxiety has taken some hits since diagnosis and i continually have to stomp it down, so to speak. The lovely ladies on this site have helped me tremendously. Just knowing you are not alone in this really helps calm you down.  Take care, Joy and stay positive:)

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's been a bumpy road this year to say the least but I found this site and 'chatting' to all the wonderful Pink Sisters here really made a difference. I didn't feel alone anymore. 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 Janey xxx

Thank you Chris for sharing your story with me.  It is encouraging to hear and makes me feel less anxious.

Hi Deanne,

Just hearing a little about your journey so far has already made me feel so much better. Thank you very much for your encouraging words.

Of course I mean welcome to the ride you never wanted to be on.  I'm about 12 months ahead of you.  My bilateral mastectomy and right axillary node dissection happened November 2012.  I don't know what fun and games you have ahead but I want you to know that I'm still standing after 7 months of chemo and finally finished radiation October 2013.  You'll have lots of questions so just ask - I found this site very helpful.  Your head I'm sure is just spinning - take some deep breaths you're not alone.
