Evening, im new and not really sure where to start. Ive very recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and im in search a place to ask questions and get advice as my treatment begins. If someone could point me in the direction I would be very grateful.
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 I am pleased to say that 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 other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
I see you have joined our supportive Breast cancer group.
This is the best place to talk with others so follow the link I've created above 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.
