Hi Beekay -- sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but welcome to the site.
Just so you know, this is a fairly old 'get connected' post, so not everyone will see your comment here (it doesn't show up on the timeline any more).
I know there's lots of members who feel the way you do, though, so the best way to chat with them is to make a new post in your own blog (see the link in the pink box on the right side of the page labelled 'my blog'). You can just copy and paste your post text again if you like, to make life easier.
When you post in your own blog, it will show up on the 'All Posts' page (which is here, if you haven't found it yet: http://www.bcna.org.au/node/all/blog/network), and anyone who has an anwer can jump in.
Hope that helps. :)
Di
