New diagnosis

Good morning

Maybe you're just very positive about the treatment and care being available. After a couple of days of my diagnosis I was pretty much the same. Positivity is absolutely necessary! 

Some of my friends and customers were surprised at ( what they called ) my strength and courage. To me , it was just faith in the science and medical staff that were going to get me through. I'm now in remission but about to start a month of protective radiotherapy and 12 rounds of Kadcyla. 

Keep positive, trust the treatment and thank the medic but above all accept support as and when you need it!

Good luck
