Hi Ladies,
My name is Wendy and I am just recently diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. So this is all very new to me. I seem to be handling the news well, which is surprising everyone around ...

I was diagnosed in May and have had a mastectomy, chemo and radiation. Like you I focused on what needed to be done and how I could best get myself through each stage of treatment. It is a marathon not a sprint though and you do need a support team to back you up.
Ask lots of questions of the medical part of your team, let friends and family help with practical issues and use this network to fill in the gaps. It can be a lonely time, especially if you need to have chemo. I have found this network a real lifeline as no one quite understands unless they have been there too.
So welcome and I hope we can help make your journey easier. Take care. Deanne xxx
