hi,
I am a new member.
on the 8th of may I found a lump in my R breast...last friday I was told that it is cancer....in 2 weeks times I will start chemio.
I am trying to process this situation....
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm really sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis. Although I didn't have the same cancer as you, I remember only too clearly how devastated I felt when told I had cancer. However, it's very early days for you and most people find that once they know the treatment plan they feel a lot more able to deal with the situation.
As the community is divided up into groups, I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with the same diagnosis as you.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit 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.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
