hi Debbie, just wanted to welcome you to the group, nobody wants to be a member of, but which we are so lucky to have, all the ladies on here have been through the journey, as a patient or carer, and we have ladies who have just been diagnosed like yourself, through to ladies who have been clear for several years, so from this we have a wealth of information and support, so we all know how scary it is when you are first diagnosed (my 1st question was :am i going to die, and my surgeon replied, this is a like threatning disease, but it's not necessary a life sentence, and although i was worried sick, i clung to his statement, once you see the specialist and get a plan happening, you start to feel a bit more in control, i did read one of the ladies telling your about the free my journey kit which can be ordered from this site, i know you are probably inundated with information, but this pack, has been done with the help of people who have gone through bc, and also has useful information for you family and friends, in a language we can understand, so please make sure you order it. Also if possible, always have someone with you to ALL appointments, as i felt while i was sitting in the hospital, i thought i knew what was being said, but on leaving there, i couldnt remember a thing, so always good to have an extra pair of ears with you. We will all be thinking of you, feel free to add me to your contacts list, and stay in touch.... Take Care Moira X
