Hi Carol and welcome.... yes it can be shocking to hear the words you have BC.... for me I was just dumbfounded like you I said no way you have the wrong person.... but here I am 4 months later having chemo lost my hair but life goes on. You will be fine, breathe be strong (yes I know easier said than done) but do we really have any choice? I know what you mean about staying home. For the first time today I put my bandanna on and took my daughter to school and even went to the shops and bought some groceries, yes people were looking but held my head up high and at the end of the day it is what it is, I have cancer and this is my look for now!
