So scared.

Hello and welcome to the online network:) 18 months ago,I was exactly where you are tonight!! I was diagnosed with an invasive ductal carcinoma in my right breast.I was scared absolutely witless, and I remember going between crying,then back to ok,then back to crying,oh my gosh it was a terrible time.I lay awake those first few nights,and I really had myself dead and buried before I had even spoken with the doctor!!!!Please listen and believe me when I tell you that you WILL be ok.You will get through this,and it won't be as bad as you are fearing it will be tonight:):)Breast cancer these days is VERY treatable,and most ladies go on to live long healthy lives.My advice to you is to get the My journey kit ,from this site if you haven't already,and read it back to front.You won't need any other information if you have this little kit! The next thing is to stay connected on this site! This network of ladies( and men!) is the most amazing place for support and advice.No question or fear that you may have is silly! Ask anything on here and there will always be someone who has gone before you and can give you the help you need.Its just like a family to me!!!And lastly,I just want to say,don't look ahead !! This is so much easier said than done,but believe me when I say,in a few short weeks,you will start to feel a whole lot better .It is the waiting for appointments and treatment to start,and the fear of the unknown,that is the hardest part.Once you actually start your treatment,it will get a whole lot easier.So please stay in touch on here,and come here every day if it helps you through the next few weeks.Cheers Robyn  xox
