Newbie

tried going to bed I cant sleep , trying to cry so daughter wont hear me im  so alone , so scared of what will happen to daughter if im terminal the right side is the one they found it in but the left side is sore like period time but im post menopause and gained a lotta weight thanks to anti depressants. thought I had friends but I dont , god this torment is so unfair 

@tisme I agree. You certainly should. It adds a lot to your statement of needs.

@tisme Absolutely. Sometimes playing the cancer card is necessary and justified.

with daughters help I cleaned my room today  found 10.00 in a pillow case  daughter wants half.  o/t etc suggested applying for govt housing cos we are in a rental that we cant afford and dont want to have bars n such put in ( I got 3 kinds of arthritis ) and have the owner sell. do u guys think I should mention breast cancer in my application ??

I’ve just caught up with your posts @tisme.
I’m so sorry you are going through such a dreadful time.  No breast cancer diagnosis is easy to cope with particularly with all the other challenges in your life.  It seems hard to believe now but you will feel better once surgery is done and your have a treatment plan in place. The uncertainty and waiting can feel unbearable until you will get some control back. 
You will have support here and there will always be information and suggestions from those who have walked before you.
wishing you and your daughter all the best.
Sending a hug,  Jane x

So sorry you're feeling this way @tisme. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, you'll get there.

depressed again today (though its always there ) sposed to have a meeting tomorrow with centacare to talk about planmanaging my daughters NDIS stuff. then more meetings on Wednesday to get daughters plan started then the surgeon on Thursday. the left side has gotten sore in sympathy with the right side .  meanwhile my mind is screaming to cancel all the meetings and daughter saw a dentist last weekend , they reckon she needs 6 fillings and a root canal when does it stop 

I just got an email from the breast care nurse this morning so Im on her radar 

@tisme You have huge challenges ahead of you, poor dear. Can you ask the breast care unit at the hospital to assign you a social worker to help you navigate through all this? 

@tisme No need to worry about cost of prosthetic. Govt rebates $400 and you can get a good one for that.
