@maureenz I am really sorry to hear your anger and frustration. I am glad you find this network to express your feelings. You are not alone, we all have been through or are going through what you are going through. There are many inspirational people here can share their experiences with you and help you through this difficult time.
I was diagnosed late December last year. I only told my direct family members before Christmas, then gradually told other family members and friends. It allowed time for myself absorb the diagnosis. I certainly lost a few family or friends, also gained a few new friends along this journey. When they give advices about diet, exercise, spiritual or natural therapy .... I appreciate that they are in good intentions. I don't necessarily take their advices.
It hasn't been an easy journey for me, I had lumpectomy soon after my diagnosis, now I am waiting for double mastectomy in the coming Friday. i had times so frustrated and unable to make decisions. I believe to trust your treatment team and also do your own research to make the best decisions you think is the best for you. You will feel better once you have your treatment plan. It's easy to say, but take one day at a time has worked well for me.
All the best, hope you feel better soon.
Big gentle hugs for you xxx
