Hi Barbara and a very warm welcome to the group
Although I'm not a member here I know how scary and confused it can be when you have had treatment and it can be difficult to understand everything you've been through.
I'm sure you'll find the other members of this group happy to answer any questions that you have or to share experiences with you.
When you feel ready it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
