Someone to chat with
Is there any one on line that I could chat with. Only just diagnosed and would like to chat with others that have been through this ordeal.

Hi Debbie,
So sorry to hear your bad news.We all know that "sick to the stomach"feeling when you get the bc diagnosis.The first time I got diagnosed I could hardly eat and felt shaky.Once I knew the plan and I could prepare then I was abit calmer. That was 7yrs ago and I had a lumpectomy,full node clearance and radiation.It came back in the same breast and same spot last year and I had a mastectomy and chemo. It's a tough journey emotionally and physically,no matter what age.You need lots of support from your loved ones-you can't do it on your own.I'm not sure what's going on with your arm,those sort of pains are usually after your surgery- tell your doctor.The waiting and not knowing is the worst part and Thursday is a few days away.I can remember asking the chemist for an over the counter something to help me sleep until I saw my surgeon.I am here anytime you want to chat.
