I havent met too many people who havent got a sh.... list, this is one that you have now joined a massive club of! Welcome, remember to take long slow steady breaths and I recommend never sitting down and worrying on your own. Pick up a phone and ring all those lovely people who volunteer to support you on the phone, chat to the Breast Care Nurse, Cancer Council was my first call, I moved and didnt have any support, other than my husband, so I used every stranger who offered me a hand, for comfort! I have learnt to focus on what is infront of me, rather than behind. I have attended group weekly meetings with others who have Cancer, and have never felt alone.

Best of luck......I have finished all my treatment and ready to go back to work~! X Bel
