Hello.
Today I found out I had breast cancer.
I knew I had it.
I've not been able to go for any appointments because I have agoraphobia (I'm fighting again, and getting there with )
What can I say none of you won't know?
Shock
Initial pushing for all the other appointments that could reveal cancer I've been unable to go to for years.
Positive self talk; "I've never let anything beat me, or any issues I've had to deal with on my own with my son. I'm a single parent who had no support bringing up my son. He's good; ok, he's got some issue's, but he's good. He's been away for a year. He was with me today when I got my test results; in many ways I wish he hadn't been with me. I'm glad he was though. It'sthe love that really helps, isn't it.
I️ need support; any support. I was diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 5 years ago and I'm trying not to go down another agoraphobia rabbit hole, and other bad things I could do.
I need to know of groups in my area I can go to.
I need to know there are people who have survived this disease. I need to know everything I can and connect with all groups outside my house I can (part of my recovery from agoraphobia as well the support for this diagnosis I've been given today.
I hope everyone is surviving as best they can today..

Everything is on the other side of fear.
When the going gets tough the tough get going
Now I'm alive my books were blue, when I'm dead, I hope they are read.
I'm not good with remote quotes, even if one is from Mandela. I need the human touch right now.
Thank you for your reply
Do follow the above link to your other post as you have been given some good information where to get support.
I'm staying off the site as my first post was put in for moderation by somebody. My life could be cancelled. I'm not wanting to be part of a cancel culture community where I can't express myself freely and things are difficult for me to navigate.
So distressing this has happened.
