Hi San-dee. I am sorry you find yourself here. It was such a shock to me when I was first diagnosed especially since I have no family history of any type of cancer which in my world happened to other people not me. I found it really hard at the beginning when I didn't know whether I would need chemo or radiation - the unknown was the worst. But after I got on my treatment path my emotions seem to settle down. I had breast conserving surgery, clear lymphs, chemo, am just starting radiation and have a year of targeted therapy. I have learnt to take it one day at a time which is just as well as I have had a lot of annoying little setbacks. I have good and bad days. Just take a deep breath and try and take things as they come. And don't forget to come on here if you have any questions. Wishing you all the best.
P.S. I HATE it when people tell me to think positive. They only say this because they don't know what else to say. Before cancer I was a really positive person, but some days I think I have earned the right to be a little down, a little scared, a little angry, frustrated, cheesed off etc instead of Miss Sunshine all the time.
