Hi all
Ive just joined this online support group.
I have just recently been diagnosed with secondery breast cancer, and waiting to start treatment.I am scared, though i had breast cancer previously i did not have chemo therapy, so this time round is scary for me.
At this time, its just looking to treat the cancer/ shrink it, as it wont be completly cured, which of course is a major blow and again i am scared.
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 - Secondary Cancer Forum and 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.
