Hello it feels strange reaching out for support because that’s not something I normally do but it’s fair to say a diagnosis of breast cancer has changed my mind! I’m hoping to be able to ask silly questions, cry a little and pay support forwards to others on this site. Nice to meet you all!
Hi TashP
I am sorry you have been diagnosed with breast cancer but hope you find lots of support from this community. I don’t think anyone quite understands like those who have, or are going through it. There’s no such thing as a silly question. There is lots of useful information on the site (click where it says cancer information and support at the top of the screen. If you are using a phone you may have to rotate to a landscape view to see the tab) or there are plenty of people with lived experience here.

Hi TashP
I’m sorry you have to be here, but welcome!
A breast cancer diagnosis is a big thing so no wonder you’re feeling anxious. Be assured, though, that there is lots of support available and people here will be happy to share their experiences, provide support and answer any questions you have (none of which are silly and I am sure we have all asked ourselves!).
I also wanted to add that, even when you have just been diagnosed yourself, you are already considering that you could support others. That’s a wonderful thing and speaks volumes. It’s nice to meet you too. x
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
