Welcome Teresa and Lorraine
It is terribly sad that you have to deal with this. I was diagnosed 11 months ago one week before my 44th birthday ....no symptoms but tiredness for so long that I just thought it was how life was...now after a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, life is getting back to normal but it is a new kind of normal.
I wanted to say - yes stay positive - but allow yourselves days to feel miserable too. I struggle with people saying how brave I am - because when it comes down to it...you just do what you have to do. You have to change course occasionally and there are always reminders that your life is not the same it was. This site will remind you to laugh and to cry. Reading the funny things about chemo really helped on days when I felt terrible. We are here when you need support.
