Hello @ara, @KylieG, and @kabash
I just wanted to say hello and know we are all 'here' on the journey with you.
We may not be 'real life' friends or colleagues, but we all understand the fears, and the highs and lows of our diagnosis, let alone dealing with our everyday lives.
I understand your fear with having young children. I was not diagnosed with breast cancer until my girls were 24 and 22, but I had a (breast cancer) scare when they were @ 11 and 9. I have been a single mother since they were 3 and 1, and the idea of a diagnosis was literally unbearable.
Be reassured by the many men and women on this site, and in the general community, who live full and healthy lives, years after diagnosis. We just all need to get through the diagnosis and treatment, then take it step by step. Have faith in your medical team, including staff in all departments that poke, prod, inject, and mostly are kind to us, they are amazing people!
Wishing you all a safe and relaxing festive season,
xx
