Newly Diagnosed and overwhelmed

Great thank you i wasnt aware of that

I note that you are from the Central Coast NSW so maybe this link will help you to find a support group

https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/40574/local-services/hunter-central-coast-region/services-support-central-coast-nsw-region/hunter-nsw-regional-service-cancer-support-groups/

I'm not sure if you have mentioned previously the type you have been diagnosed with but here is another link that will help

The dark cloud will soon become a light 

i cant wait for that light to appear as to now it all seems like a dark cloud

Excellent!  Yes it's a little overwhelming but as you get into it you will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel.  We are all out here supporting as most of us have been through the same. 

Take care and best wishes

yes thank you, i have been in touch with a lovely breast care nurse she has been wonderful over the last few days

Perhaps try the helpline as they may be able to give you some guidance and or point you in the right direction

the unknown is scarey and i have heard it referred to before as pregnancy in how to deal with it how we all handle it differenlty. the fear i have is the worst ive ever fealt in my life and im struggling alot with it.

Hi there @Penny001. Sorry you've had to join our group...the group that nobody in their right mind would want to join. We're a mixed lot here...young and not so young, single, with partners, with kids and without, rich and poor, female and male. What we have in common is this godawful disease. We also all "get" it. This is a safe place to talk, vent, or share...whatever you need or want at the time. It is quite natural for you to be frightened of chemo. The media portrays chemo patients as pale, wan, weak, bald, puking bed bound people  in God's waiting room, waiting for death. Far from it. There are great drugs and treatments out there to help with any side effects you may have. One of the first things I bought, after hearing my diagnosis and before chemo started, was a plastic bucket from Kmart. It remains a virgin. Never vomited once. Had quite a few other things, like bad taste in the mouth, lost my hair, problems with nails and a few more, but no puking. This old chook got through it and so did many others in this group. (Not everybody has chemo...depends on their cancer type), and you will too. Don't anticipate the worst...it may never happen. Much like pregnancy and childbirth, some have it easy, and others a bit harder. You can come here, day and night...(visit our Night Howlers thread), and you'll always have an electronic shoulder to lean on. Big hug...Ally.

I am sure there will be more people along shortly.  You will get through it and we will help you every step of the way if you need it.  Even when you know it's normal it doesn't make it any easier I know. 
It will be ok. Promise.
