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,
I was almost 53 when I was diagnosed with 2 tumours and invasion into the lymph glands. I had a total mastectomy of the left breast and chemotherapy. It is not the way I would have like to celebrate my son's wedding but I attended bald. (Wore a hat to the service and the wig to the reception). Seven years on this week and going strong.
If you send me your email address I can send you a few pics of then and now.
It is very energy sapping, but take all the assistance and help offered. You will see another side of people, and accept that you need a bit of help just now! That was hardest thing as I am very independent and a "super woman"- or so I thought ha ha. I felt guilty for my family and betrayed by my body.
We really have no choice but to go through whatever surgery and treatments they offer and DO attend counselling/psychological sessions if you feel the need. Also Look Good Feeling Better was amazing!!
You are not alone, and the gilrs in BCNA, and there are many thousands of us, are here!!
Thinking of you, chin up,
Mandy
