Hi @Lisa50
It is such a shock, especially when, as you say, you have always tried to look after your health. I too had always thought I had done the right things, no family history etc. But this disease seems to strike at random unfortunately!
I am 3 1/2 years down the track and so very grateful for all that I have learnt from the wonderful women on here. Have you ordered your BCNA information kit yet? Here is the link if you need it https://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/my-journey-kit/order-my-journey-kit/
Yes they call it a "journey" but I agree it is not my idea of a journey either! I too struggled with what to call my diagnosis and treatment time. In the end I mostly refer to it as "this process". My diagnosis lead to a "process" that included surgery (a mastectomy and partial lymph node removal), chemo, radiation and now anti-hormone therapy due to my cancer being hormone positive.
I am so sorry that you are facing this awful disease too. Go ahead and swear all you need to. We are here anytime you need to let out your anger and sadness. Take care. Deanne xxx
