Welcome to the online network,where you will find all the support that you need. 8 months ago I was diagnosed,and I was scared witless.I am a lot older than you, but this damm disease doesn't discriminate when it comes to age!I want to tell you,that I have finished all my treatment,and I feel GREAT !! I agree with you so much when you say a sense of humour and positive attitude are important.I have tried very hard all the way through my diagnosis and treatment,to " keep my chin up" ,and on the days that you feel like crap,I believe that you feel a little better than you would have,if you try to smile!But of course,you also need to feel the other emotions that come with this diagnosis.Sad,angry,frustrated etc. Once you have all your tests completed,and you have a plan for treatment,you will feel a lot more in control.Remember that these days,BC is very treatable,and most ladies go on to live long healthy lives.Stay in touch on here and let us know how you get on.Sending you a big hug.xoxRobyn
