Well meaning..but not helpful (for me)
I've recently been diagnosed. I let the initial shock subside and embraced that part of my brain & personality which is about process and planning rather than panic. So lots of information gathering, ...

Oh dear ...... @ValerieLouise .....I am SO sorry to see you 'join the club' - but you'll make some great friends here & get REAL advice from those who have been thru it right HERE!! I bet your buddy hasn't had anything to do with BC - or else she wouldn't be making these stupid suggestions! Ask her if SHE is taking it all .... then wait & see how her health develops! ;) Getting this BC is just pure bad luck, I reckon - I am the first on MY family to be diagnosed with it (my family usually cark it from heart attacks!)
I added my two bits to the 'Did you REALLY say that' thread below ..... you'll be able to read a lot of other crap there as well - some will make you laugh - some will make you angrier than your 'well meaning buddy'!!

If there are any questions you've thought of - toss them around here & some very knowledeable ladies (and gents) will put their two bits in! ;)
All the best on the next phase of your treatment & decision making - if there is anything we can help you with, just ask ...... chuck all that other crap out the window. It will make absolutely no difference whatsoever in your treatment over the next 'x' months ..... but if you FEEL like trying alternate stuff .... feel free to give it a go - just put it past your Onc or Doc first!
Take care xx
