Hi I'm 52 and have just been diagnosed with Stage 1, Grade 2, Invasive Carcinoma (13mm mass) in my right breast. I've cared for many relatives experiencing cancer including my mum, both of my husbands...
@dbelle Do you use facebook.
Initially I created groups on messanger. Very close family. General family and friends. That way I could update quickly.
I also created a restricted access facebook group by invite only. I posted pictures and gave updates on my treatment and sometimes just blogged about my journey. People found it really helpful and it gave them some insight into breast cancer treatment...warts and all. They saw my scars, my bald head, my makeup tricks. I did state to people it was raw...and asked them vefire being added not just put them in. I know of one person who had 2. One was general info on her journey. One contained more graphic accounts of losing breasts etc.
Hope this is helpful. Kath x
