Hi CocoBean71,
I'm so very sorry that you've joined our club. I was diagnosed straight up with MBC 11 mths ago & I can remember exactly feeling all of your emotions. Its so awful & overwhelming & so very scary, but I can tell you that it does get easier as time goes on & you start your treatment. Take a day at a time, or sometimes it might be an hour by a time. Reach out to friends & family & accept their support. I have a fantastic village of support & i couldn't have survived without them. Take it easy & remember to breath x

Thanks Mel. I am sorry we are all here, but thank you for your message.
I am hopeful that once I see the surgeon and the oncologist this week that there is some glimmer of hope with a treatment plan. I think the worst is no control and, while I know during this time the treatment team are working out how to treat me, the lack co trol and appropriate information enables the void to be filled with fear and gloom.
