Total shock

First let me say I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed and inducted into the club that no-one wants to join. It is a LOT to take in and try to process. I don't know if this is your first diagnosis, or if you are dealing with cancer "again,"

Everyone here is really nice and supportive. Someone has been through just about everything you will ever experience. There is always someone to help you out on this forum.

As for your own well-being, just try to keep some perspective. I know it is hard. As the old saying goes "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at the time." Right now it probably feels like you are being force-fed, but take a breath, go to your next doctor's appointment and continue to gain knowledge.

Keep coming back here for support. I PROMISE it makes the journey a little easier to face.

Welcome to WhatNext. I was diagnosed with MBC at age 70. No one was looking for it. I'm 5 years out now. We're here to support you in any way we can. I'm always slow to respond.
