Hey Jeanette
Welcome to this site huny and so glad you have found us.
That big question we all want answers to, why????? No one knows yet. Just remember if you did something to make this BC diagnosis then so did the thousands of women that get this dreaded disease every year. There are no answers to that question so no sense beating yourself up over it.
Deane has put everything beautiful in her post to you.
How blessed are you to have such a beautiful nephew of all people willing to sacrifice his job. You must be a very special aunt in his eyes and he must be a beautiful nephew.
I also enjoyed reading other poeples travels and where it has taken them following their BC diagnosis and I still do 2 years on. So if you know of any good books I would love to hear about them.
I hope you have managed to get your My Journey Kit through BCNA to be of a great help for you through your travels. I find it so helpful and used my diary every day.
Good luck for next week. Just remember it is normal for you to have all these emotions going through your head. It is a very difficult time. Once you start your treatment you will then just concentrate on being well and getting well. Read back through any of the previous posts by going to the search button at the top of the page. Join groups on here that you feel will help you or if there are groups that are in the area you live. There is the Cancer Council Help line which are fantastic on 131120 should you require someone to talk to or assistance in some way. They can help financially, legally, emotonally and any other way.
BCNA is a wonderful organisation which can also assist you with resources which are at the bottom of the page which you can order on line. The online network is here for you to give you as much emotional support and to answer any questions you have. We are here for you every step of the way through your travels and beyond.
Lots of love, Mich xoxoxoxo
