Hi I was diagnosed last week with breast cancer waiting for date of operation to remove the tumour, stage 1,any advice anyone, June.
Hi June and welcome to the Online Community, although I am so sorry to see the circumstance that brought you here.
I am Mike Thehighlander and I help out on the Community and I will do my very best to direct you to the best place for you to find the support and help you need.
On my long journey I found the best way to navigate the various challenges that a cancer diagnosis brings was by talking with people who are on the exact same journey.
My cancer journey was rather different but I see you have already joined the Breast Cancer Forum.
This is the best place for you to be able to connect with people who understand the path you are on.
To get to the Breast Cancer Forum hit your forum username and this will take you to ‘your’ information and you will see the tab ‘Groups’ where it will show the groups you have joined.
Go into the group and hit the 'Start a Discussion' tab and introduce yourself to the group and ask your questions.
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.
It would be very helpful if you can take a little time and put some information about yourself and the journey that brought you to us into your profile as 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.
All the best.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
