Hi there
Sorry to hear of your bad news. It's such a shock when you hear those dreaded words. If you are looking for fighting spirit then you have come to the right place. This network is full of wonderful and courageous women with such great fighting spirit that you just can't help but be inspired.
The early days of diagnosis are very difficult as your whole world changes. You feel like you are in a whirlwind. It's a tough fight but you can do it! I have, so you can too.
I am also married with two young girls. I was diagnosed in March, had mastectomy with tissue expander inserted, did 6 rounds of chemo and am now about to undergo my final reconstruction. There have been many ups and downs but with the support of my loving family and great friends as well as the wonderful ladies here I pushed through. It's hard, it's emotional, it's not the path we hoped for but it is doable and there are many ladies here to prove it.
This is a great site to share your worries, hopes, good times and bad. Ask all the questions you like. There is always someone here with an answer.
Good Luck
Ann-Marie x
