Hello girls and especially nonkyboy who has just started her journey.The first part of the process - tests , surgery and radiation went past in a blur for me tbh but what stood out every step of the way for me was the kindness and support that cocooned me from fear as I went through . The most important to me was the steadying influence of my breast surgeon who I trusted implicitly from the beginning and I am pleased to hear you feel the same about yours.The first real Wobblies I had was last week but then support enveloped me again but I did need to look for it - I found this site , I rang Cancer Council who set up Cancer Connect for me resulting in phone call yesterday from a lovely woman from Brisbane who has come through a similar path to my own and I found online after that conversation a local breast cancer group who meet monthly.For me at this stage it is important to know that I can continue to live my life and that I can get thru to the other side from others who have been /are on my journey. I read yesterday on bcna site there are 48 new bc diagnoses daily which is about 17000 a year - you are not alone and many will help you.
