New to this first time I've reached out to anyone outside my friends and family..nurse circle. I wish you all well...never been good sleeper and im anxiously awake more these days .

I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I had a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. My timeline was that I saw an oncologist about 5 weeks after I'd had surgery when chemo and radiotherapy were discussed. Chemo started 4 weeks later and radiotherapy about a month after the chemo finished. 

The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you. 

To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

If you're struggling to sleep and want to chat then pop along to the awake and up all night thread where you're almost guaranteed to find someone else who is awake and will be happy to chat.

It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on 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.
