New to all this and need friends

Your in the right place to make contact with some really great women and gain some really valuable advice and information like from Samantha in the blog above who like so many others is a tower of strength and wisdom to so many people on this site despite going through her own ongoing battles and heart aches, she is a real inspiration to so many.

Like you i felt my world was falling apart too and i felt so scared of the unknown. I could not find enough information to satisfy my grief and found that the internet became my closest companion during this horrible time.  Selena you are going through something that we never think we will get ..... It is scary and most people on BCNA understands exactly what you are feeling. You will have your ups and downs which is so normal, i still have them now and i am 6 months post Op......Have you got your Journey kit yet  as it has some great information in it and it is a really neat kit.

I wont say " be brave and dont worry"  as it is really hard as the dam thing has invaded your body and you have every right to be scared.   But i will say try and keep reminding your self to stay positive as  the medical world has come along way over the years and most people survive this disease through the treatment plans developed  by your oncologist... I felt myself crying at every corner and that is normal too, so dont be afraid to cry and talk about it  as much as you want to,  as it is a big emotional journey you are embarking on.   I still need to come onto this site and both try and reassure others and also to gain advise for my self so anytime you need to chat or cry  dont be afraid to come on,  someone will always be around to help you.

The waiting will really become a nightmare, it drags on and on and on but try and keep busy until 6th March. I also are the same age but i have 3 children and 4 grand kids that are just my life's greatest gifts and no dam cancer  will ever take that away.

Cheers Jo xx
