The beginning
So this journey has just started. Never been so scared. Who would thought at 25 anything like this could happen. Going to take a while to understand that ! But I'm grateful for my friends and the fact I got it early !

- Dear Emm, I have sorry to hear of your diagnosis. This is the best place to touch base a lot of the ladies on hear can sympathise and help along your journey. I myself was diagnosed at the end of August. Two ops in Sept and have just recently gone through my first chemo. It is certainly tough trying to get your head around so much information. I decided to take each stage as it happened. I could not deal with the big picture all at once. Stay positive as this the best thing that you can do for yourself and your family. We are here for you anytime. Regards Jackie

I too thought it would ever happen to me. I also thought at 47 I was too young so it just goes to show doesn't it?? I'm halfway through my treatment after having being diagnosed in August quickly followed by a mastectomy and 15 lymph nodes being removed. Stay positive as your attitude to all this really helps. There will be down days - I've had many, but the support of family, friends and this website really does help!
Sending hugs
Tink
