  • @Shellshocked2018_ ..... we all remember those dreaded words ....”You Have breast cancer” ..... It immediately turns your life upside down .... and as you say, makes you scared, weepy and all the rest of it.   You are in the right spot for support from those who have gone before you.   It is a bit of an emotional and physical roller coaster I am afraid!

    Try not to second guess it - have faith in your medical team and GP..... try not to use Dr Google (it will only do your head in, tho most of us do!! Duh!)  Everyone’s treatment plan is tailored to the individual!  

    Deep breaths, take each day as it comes .. I hope you have family and friends to help you thru  the coming treatment .....

    Put up any any question that you may have .... someone with a similar diagnosis will jump in and help you with informed answers. 

    All the best best with your ongoing treatment. Xxx
  • Hi there @Shellshocked2018_...sorry you've had to join this group that nobody wants to join. All the feelings and reactions, both physical and emotional are normal. All the members of this group have been through what you are now. We all remember how raw and scary it all is when you first are diagnosed. Many other more computer savvy members will step forward very shortly, to give you advise about where you can access various very informative and supportive information. I'm a total Luddite when it comes to those things, but I can send you a cyber (((hug))). We have all walked your road and we all get it...we understand how you feel right now, and we will always be here for you. Ally.
