I am 5 weeks into breast cancer. Had a operation on 29th December. Doc is happy he got it all and lymph node was clear. Now waiting for DNA of tumour to come back so we know if chemo is needed.. I have been reading about radiotheaphy and it scares me to death. How have people coped with it as I have been told it is nessacery.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read about your diagnosis but I hope you'll find the online community an informative and supportive place.

    As it's divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with this type of cancer.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select '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.

    If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
