Hi Liz27,
You have the right to feel all your emotions. We are emotional beings, complex at times and BC makes it even more challenging.

This online community is all about support, kindness and willingness to share experiences to help alleviate concerns and worries.

I was diagnosed August 2019, had left breast mastectomy, reconstruction and currently on hormone therapy. I have learned to adjust as I go and there is plenty more for me to learn. I still have my fears and doubts but when I pull myself back to the present it helps me bring things to perspective. The struggle is real but your inner strength is MORE real.
