Just want to say Hi. I'm 47, diagnosed last year with Triple Negative Breast Cancer Ribbon..  had lumpectomy, IV chemo, radiotherapy and now on oral chemo till December. I love alone and my family are crap. Don't know how I will cope once the dark.nights come and I can't go in the garden and see my neighbours. Any advice? Thanks.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and ongoing issues.

    A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.

    The Community has various support groups so can I direct you to our Breast cancer and Triple negative breast cancer groups as these are the places where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

    Follow the links I've created above then choose ‘click to join' when the page opens.

    You can then introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It’s always good to talk - our Macmillan Support Services provides lots of ways to connect. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00. Clicking here will give you more information.

    You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    All the very best.
