Welcome to the online network.This place is THE best place for you and your mum to get support and advice over the coming months.I was diagnosed 16 months ago,and I have had a mastectomy and chemo.I am absolutely fine now,and in fact I feel better than I ever have.I was 59 when I was diagnosed.I was scared witless in those early days,but as time went on,and I talked to people on here,and began to realise that for most ladies,BC is not a death sentence anymore,I started to realised that I was going to be OK.I have a gorgeous 24 year old daughter,who has been by my side for the whole experience.Your Mum needs you now,just to be there.Try to think of this as a bump in the road.The beginning is the hardest by far,because you have a thousand unanswered questions.Be guided by the doctors for the treatment side of things,and then come on this blog for all the other questions that you will have,and for support in general.So please try not to worry TOO much:) Please feel free to read my blog posts of you like.Stay in touch,and believe me,things will start to settle down soon.Cheers xoxRobyn
