Hello @sjd_barra
I’m sorry that you too find yourself here, but welcome. The first weeks were most certainly the worst for me. I worried and wondered what the future held.

I also changed my GP to a very proactive and strong woman who helped me be more analytical and less emotional. I was put in touch with a breast care nurse and have her number to call when I need. She also sent me a My Journey book that’s filled with helpful information.
Now I’m very open with anyone and everyone and have openly talked to colleagues, friends and family so that they feel able to talk about it with me and this too has been a big support.
I wish you all the the very best moving forward and reach out if you feel overwhelmed or in need of a chat xx
