Finally taken the positive step of joining a wonderful support group
I have sought out and read lots of info before I had my mastectomy yesterday and begin the chemo journey in January. I have been through a whirlwind of emotions but found great comfort and advice here. So I’ve now joined what I feel is a friendly, open and honest group with a bit of humour too. This is one positive I can take into the new year to help me for sure.

- Great name @Lopsided_L853! I'm in that club, too. Feel free to ask us any questions you have or rant if you need to (we do!). This forum has helped me immensely over the last year and I'm sure it will help you, too.
HI Lopsided_L853Below are a couple of links to help you find your way around the forum and also how to find a breast care nurse and how to order a MY journey Kit if you haven't got one yet.
It can be a whirlwind when we first get a diagnosed.... Breathe and take it one step at a time.
