Welcome to our group of women here, we all know how it feels, but in my case once treatment starts, things start to get better. We have a wide age group on this site and feel free to come on any time and have a chat, complain, vent your anger, or whatever, there is always someone here willing to help. I too am from a rural area in SA where there is no support groups near. I was diagnosed in 2008, had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and am now on Arimidex hormone for 5 years, and life is looking positive. so keep on comming here and let us know how you are going. please feel free to add me to your contacts, and i will help with anythin i can, also as di said unfortunately there are plenty of young ones on here who have been through and going through the journey. regards moira
