New Year new challenge

This is my first post. I hope to connect with other women on this unexpected journey. Like others, I had an overseas holiday booked for May of this year with my husband but have had to cancel due to being diagnosed with BC before Christmas. Life has been turned upside down. Surgery is on 23rd January with chemo, radiotherapy and hormone treatment after that. I have good supportive friends but none who have breast cancer so in a way I feel like I'm alone going through this. I have a positive attitude but also have a fear of the unknown.

    Welcome. We'd all prefer not to be here but as we can't change the circumstances, we all try to make this a place where you can ask questions, share information and let off steam about anything. I am five years on from diagnosis, and so far cancer free, so think positive. There are many others going through treatment now who will be happy to share their experiences. I was diagnosed just after a long overseas holiday and, as I am an older woman, I remember thinking at best there will be no more travel for me. Not true - been travelling a lot. So look at this as just an unfortunate delay. Best wishes for surgery.
