Hey! Vivienne Vanessa! First of all I just want to give you the biggest hug!!! I too teared up reading your story and for no other reason other than I literally felt your pain and anguish. I'm not in my 30's either, am late 40's but have been through this twice now since 43 and I just wanted to say to you. You absolutely will get an enormous amount of support here from a network of incredibly courageous women of all ages. We are unified in something that doesnt discriminate in any sense. It's incredibly overwhelming and so important to stop and take a deep breath. Im so glad to hear you have told your immediate family. Surround yourself with people who support, love and lift you up. Most importantly, DON'T DOUBT for a second because you can and will get through this, no matter how insurmountable everything feels right now. Step at a time! Once you have your complete pathology you will have such a greater idea of what you have and what your treatment will be. Keep us up to date. Ohhh and I too am needle phobic!!! Yikes!!!! So you are human!!! be kind to you! Hugs Melinda xo
