Hi, I'm new to this group, I'm Italian and moved in UK 3 years ago with my husband and twin boys. The first year was wonderful, at the start of my second year here my life changed. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had first surgery then lymph node clearance, chemo, radiotherapy and now I've been on chemo tablets for 1 year. I still have one to go and a couple of weeks ago my other breast had something wrong. My GP found a lump so I went for a private scan last week and and they found something. I'm heartbroken, I'm falling apart and wanted to reach out for help. Thank you.
