Newly diagnosed with early breast cancer two weeks ago. Looking forward to chatting with others as I get on this rollercoaster.

So sorry you are joining us - but welcome to the most supportive group of pink sisters you will ever find. You must still be shocked - we were all in a state of disbelief when we were diagnosed. Sending you a big hug. Once your treatment plan begins, things seem to have a flow of their own, and you will have been very busy with appointments and meeting your team since you found out. Try to take just one day at a time, and get your My Journey kit from this site. It's free and it is wonderful, as it covers everything you will need to know at first. It helps to keep busy - less time to worry. You don't say what type of cancer, but there will be someone here who has the same type, so ask any questions that will help. Most of us have had surgery, chemo, radiotherapy, and it is all do-able. We find the strength to do it all because we must. We are strong women. And if we have a bad day, we come online and vent. The women here are wonderful. All the very best with your treatment plan - keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Another big hug. Michelle xx

Glad you've found the sight bc is not easy it plays with every emotion you have and you can give into it or kick back at it. Ask as many questions even if you think they are silly, take someone with you so they can listen too as I think we go into a semi dazed state, but boy it goes past before you know and you see light at the end of the tunnel. Life is never the same but you have found a good place here to talk to so many mind liked women, I used so many people's advice from the sight, they were my other team as well as the doctors. I will never forget my first blog and all the responses I got I did not feel alone at all. Regards adean

hi there, best wishes to you; im also fairly new to all this; had surgery to remove small cancer and one lymph node removed and unfortunatley small growth there. I was told the standard opinion was chemotherapy followed by radiation; i then became quite profoundly anxious-- i had gotten my head around surgery and radiation. however my oncologist is recommending radiation and then tablets and i walked out of office feeling 'i can do this' but im aware it is not standard process. on the up side im pleasantly surprised by my surgery results--i was expecting more of a hole in my breast but barely noticeable i feel ok now but start radiation in a weeks time and trying to plan a bit --3 or 6 weeks of this--
