Newly diagnosed

Hi Chris,

I'm kind of glad that I found this site and joined now, it's a relief to hear from other ladies that have or are going through BC.  4 surgeries and 4 more to go wow you are a brave lady.  I only know 1 person who has had BC, she is a year or so cancer free,  but like you've said I too didn't understand fully what it meant or anything until last Friday.

Thanks and good luck with your surgeries

Hi again I officially got my diagnosis on 3rd may this year - it feels like a lifetime ago.... But it does get easier - one step at a time and bit by bit - I was lucky and avoided chemo - however now after 4 surgeries and probably 4 more to go to complete my recon it is still not an easy path. Connecting with people who understand exactly how you are feeling does make a big difference - I have two family members and several friends who have faced BC but nothing is really the same as knowing exactly what it is like... I didn't understand that until my diagnosis. You will always find that here.. Chris xx

Hi Miss Lizzie,

Yeah I'm scared of the unknown, fingers crossed for you on the outcome of treatment.  I think I'm just going day by day at the moment the reality hasn't hit me I think.

I'll definitely watch this space to see how you are going and I'll let you know how I got on.

 

Take care Lizzie

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the words and yes I think it has been a rollercoaster as I don't think I've come to terms with it all yet.

 

I'll definitely keep in touch with you and anyone else who wishes to talk to me.

 

Thanks for the hugs I think I'll be needing them

Hi Summer,

 

Thanks for the kind words and support, I certainly will be making sure I touch base with this absolutely wonderful group.  It will be a huge day for me tomorrow as the appointment isn't until 5pm so I've got all day to get through, but I'm going to make sure that I keep myself busy.  My sister is younger than me but she has been wonderful and I've asked her to take notes and ask questions cause I know that I will probably just sit there like a bump on a log.

Thanks once again Summer

Kindest regards

Leisa :)

Welcome to the group.... I know it is really scary at the moment but know that there are a lot of ladies who have been exactly where you are and are here to support you ... You are not alone. You will feel a bit like you are on a roller coaster and it can be very confronting to work through all the information. Make sure you ask lots of questions so that you fully understand your diagnosis and your treatment options. Come back here often - you will always be able to find information and someone that has been where you are - I found it very comforting to know there was someone else who knew exactly how I was feeling or who had been where I was. This site was my lifeline Good luck on Monday and stay in touch. Sending big hugs Chris
