Hi Phillipa,
I was diagnosed when I was 29years old. I am now 2 years down the track and am happy to be a support!! I had my treatment in Sydney but moved up to the north coast of NSW a year ago to get away from the stresses of city life. This certainly is a scarey time right now, but you are not alone and certainly you must have heaps of questions! Hope you find someone to have a coffee with but I'm happy to have a cyber one with you whenever you need to talk to someone!
All the best with your surgery and what ever treatment follows!! keep in touch!
