Hi, a little hello from me too, diagnosed with BC in Nov and now in the midst of treatments. Good that you're sharing your story here on BCNA, I personally find this site a tremendous source of help.
Although it's a rough journey we gotta make it's important not to lose hope! I too had one of my best friends freaking out when I told her, who started to rant how awful it is and how we all gonna die of cancer. I was dumbfounded by her reaction but then replied that I was actually gonna kick this cancer in the ass and intended to live a helluva loong time. She did not know what to say.. I can understand people get scared or stupid when they hear the word cancer but what I /we really need to hear is that the medical teams and survival rates in Australia are top class in the world, BC is treatable, we're in good hands and we're gonna sail through this, trust me girl!
Sending you lots of positive thoughts! Annie
