Hi @MelissaD, I hope you are feeling better. I thought I'd let you know about the online support available.
The site that might be most useful for you is 'Finding my way' through Flinders Uni here in SA. It is free and really reliable info. It is designed for people with early breast cancer and has 6 modules from early treatment to survivorship. It's very easy to use. It's now open to the public anywhere in Aus.
The second online course is icanAdapt research program for people with early breast cancer, but that has now closed. They run a lot of research into anxiety and depression, and it's broader than cancer. I loved participating in this and the course is now open to the public, but I'm not sure of the details. There are other research trials and a website called This way up I think. Not sure if it's free or if there's a cost. Haven't used this.
After you finish treatment the 'Wellbeing after cancer' through the Cancer Council was amazing. BCNA also offer and excellent program. There's also the Encore program for your physical recovery etc.
I wish you all the best with your treatment. You have your whole life ahead of you and this is just a road bump in your future. When I went through chemo I kept a copy of the Lonely Planet guide to Italy on my coffee table. I went there and spent my second anniversary sipping wine in Milan with my sister. It was one of the best trips of my life. Make a goal for yourself, as small or as big as you like and plan it and do it!
I am not going to be on this site as I have to move on with my life and that means more exercise, less cancer focus for me. It's all part of the survivorship battle, where to focus your energy. I have loved the support from everyone on here. x
