Hi everyone.
I’m new here and just wanted to say hello and got diagnosed with Breast Cancer 3 days ago. I think I’m still in shock but my head is spinning with so many questions. Already I find my emotions up and down, x
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your breast cancer diagnosis but you have found a safe place to find some support.
A cancer diagnosis indeed brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
The Community has many dedicated support groups so can I direct you to our supportive Breast cancer group
Follow the link I've created above, join the group, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can just join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk, so can I highlight the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00. This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best ((hugs))
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
