Hi Holly1981 and welcome.... Newbie here too and yes no family history here either. I guess we are the "lucky" ones. Yes I was the strong one in family and keeping it all together, with a hubby and 3 teenage kids you have too, but now I have put my hands up and said ok now you guys have to take care of me..... I'm very strong in the sense I have not broken down yet except when told I have BC, now I'm ready to start the fight and get on with what I have to do.
Can I ask did you have a lumpectomy or a mastectomy first? I had lumpectomy, now chemo and then made decision for mastectomy.
Be positive and stay strong no matter how hard it is.
