Breast cancer

Hey Sarah

Welcome huny.  So glad you found us but so very sorry that you have to be here.  It is all so very very overwhelming when you receive your diagnosis so I am sorry you are feeling the way you are feeling.  I recently started a post where all the luvly ladies have put down ideas to help you deal with stress etc.  I will find the link and let you know.

I am in WA.  I am in Midland in Perth.  I am part of a group called Perth Womens Group of which you are very welcome to join.  Just find us in Groups and ask to join and we will happily say yes.  We are having a get together coming up very soon in February that you are very welcome to attend.

You have come to a very good online group with BCNA.  BCNA themselves are very helpful in that there is the My Journey Kit that you can order through them which has things in it like information to read, a diary for your appt, a place to write how you are feeling.  Information about each thing you may go through etc. etc.  You can find all that information at the bottom of the page and can order online or call them.

I have finished all my chemo and radiotherapy and have come out the other side of that to be able to tell the story and let you know you do get through.  It is definitely a terrible time in your life and you will have lots of concerns.  Take on board that worrying and being anxious about it doesn't make it any better but as we all know it is hard to not worry but it is good to remember it doesn't help that is for sure.  You need to ask your new Medical Team for something to help you with sleeping and with your anxiety just to help you get through this stage since diagnosis.

I am available to talk to any time day or night on 0408497613.  Please do not hesitate to call me Sarah please.  My email is whitey.snm1@bigpond.com if you would like to email me.

There is a lovely group I think in Mandurah.  I will try and contact one of the girls.  I know some of them are very busy with a cycle they are doing to raise funds for BCNA where they will be heading off to Vietnam shortly which is so fantastic.  I will see if they can contact you as well.

Please join the Perth Womens Group if you would like to.

We are all here for you Sarah.  You are not alone luvly and we will help you get through this I promise.

Lots of luv always, Mich xoxoxoxo
