Hi to all,
My sister has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We have a family history of Ovarian cancer young and have found out more since so she and probably me too will be tested for genetics.
I am very anxious for her as she has Cerebral Palsy, I just want us to all have good conversations with the doctors about what that may mean for treatment.
I'm not sure what else to write so this is my hello. If anyone could point me to any chat around cancer and disability or anything else useful thst would be great.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your sister has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.
As you know the online community is divided up into different support groups and I can see that you've already joined and posted in the breast cancer for the under-50s group. You might also like to post in the main breast cancer group too as that's generally a more active group.
It would be great if you could pop something about your sister's 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
