Hello everyone
I am new, this is my first post.
I have invasive breast cancer and had my op a few weeks ago. I’ve only known since August 4th so it’s been very fast and I’ve not had chance to process it all yet.
I'm a pretty positive person usually but it’s just me and my two daughters so thought I should find somewhere that I can get support or share stuff when I need to.
I hope everyone is kicking cancers backside
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am so sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
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.
The Community is organised into various support groups and I see you have found our Breast cancer
