Talking about new diagnosis, treatment

I was diagnosed on 5/8 and am waiting for a date for surgery. So much is unknown about treatment until my pathology results come back. I have an amazing family and friends but am struggling to talk with them as this makes ‘it’ real. They just want to support me and are respecting my need to talk only when I feel like it. It’s hard enough dealing with my emotions at the moment without worrying about others, but I don’t want them to worry.

    Hi there @RozMoz....welcome to the club nobody wants to join. We all "get it" as we've all been there. You see, within your close social circle, your cancer diagnosis has rung not only your, but everybody's existential bell. Gosh if Roz could get "it"...then so could we !!! This is a huge deal with some people, and at the moment, you have enough on your plate to eat, without having to feel the need to deal with others' stuff, shit or whatever. You will always find someone here, day and night, to lean on. We're an assorted bunch here, with different methods of communication, skills and experience. What we all have in common is breast cancer.  Sending the biggest cyber (((hug)))...Ally,
