Breast cancer

Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see the circumstance that brought you here.

I am Mike Thehighlander and I am one of the Community Campions. I have just noticed your post and I will do my best to direct you to the best place for you to find support and the help you need.

Times like these can be very hard and challenging for you and the rest of the family but talking with people who are on the same path can help a lot. 

My cancer journey was rather different but if you follow this LINK to our Breast Cancer Forum you will be able to connect with people who understand the path you are on.

Just join the group and hit the 'Start a Discussion' tab and introduce yourself to the group and remember to go to the right on the group home page and select how you want to receive email notifications when someone answers your posts.

You may also find our various Macmillan Support Line Services on 0808 808 00 00 to be helpful as you can talk to a friendly person that can help in lots of ways.

Just one last thing, can I ask you to take a little time and fill in some information about yourself and the journey that brought you to us. You can do this by completing your profile it really does help the Community members to help you and get to know you. 

Click on your username and that will take you to your homepage. Look for ‘Edit my Profile’ click on it and start to tell us as much or as little about yourself as you want then click on save before closing the page. 

How to update your PROFILE

All the best.

Hi

Sorry to hear how scared you are feeling. Thehighlander has already given you a warm welcome and pointed you to the breast group. I thought I'd pop over and say Hi. You'll find me hanging out in the breast cancer group and we will all give you a very warm welcome - there is a huge amount of support, reassurance and hugs of every variety there. 

I think everyone is frightened of chemo - I know I was, but the reality turned out to be nowhere near as bad as my wild imagination was making me believe. It is do-able! We also have a "chemo chat" thread in the breast group where everyone going through treatment can share experiences, helpful tips - anything, really. The first page has a link to useful information about what to take with you etc.

You can do this d we are all here to help you in whatever way you need.

Look forward to welcoming you in the Breast Cancer group.
