I'm a newbie ...just don't know what to say. Diagnosed with breast cancer December 2022 going through treatment. Don't know how to mentally cope.
Hi missmuffet
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer and that you are struggling to cope. How's your treatment going. I hope you aren't having too many side effects.
There's a lot of support that you can receive from Macmillan. Here's a link to those supports: Emotional, financial and physical help for people with cancer | Macmillan Cancer Support. If you ring the helpline they'll be able to set up free counselling from bupa if that's what you would like. They can also pair you up with someone who will support you through the rest of your journey. Here's the link to the information about the Macmillan Buddies: Macmillan Buddies | Macmillan Cancer Support.
I hope you find this reply helpful and keep on using the forum for support even if you just want to vent about how your treatment is going.
Best wishes
