So glad your visit went well. Learn to rely on your friends and ex. Wonderful that your faith is strong, it will get you thru this!

Best of luck Danielle, sending you positive energy and prayers. You are not that far from my area so if you need other info, etc let me know. My sister lives in that area as well. Hugs!

Can I ask why your doctor is waiting so long to do anything about your breast cancer? I was stage 0 and localized and I was in surgery within two weeks. If I were you I would get a second opinion or a different surgeon who won't wait to treat your breast cancer. In the meantime, welcome to the site. I am sure that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need someone to talk to. We are all in the same boat when it comes to emotions and feelings about our health. Just know that no question is to silly to ask and if you need to vent because you are having a bad day, we are here for you. I hope you find this site as helpful to you as it has been for me.

Hello and welcome, we are sorry for your diagnosis, but we are happy to have you with us. Please feel free to join in the conversations. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer. Take a look at it to get you started on some information. You will notice at the bottom of that page 4 of our active users who have had that journey already, you may wish to contact them for their experience and wisdom. Also, I encourage you to go to the questions page now by clicking on the questions tab at the top of the page and post what is the most pressing issue you have right now. This will introduce you to the community and get you started on the help you need right now.

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx. Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall. Thanks for being with us and let me know if I can help you find any information on the site. After you have an opportunity to look the site over and see what great things there are here, we encourage you to invite your friends, family or anyone you know that may be helped by the connections on WhatNext to join the site also.

Oh - I forgot to say that if you continue to feel extremely sad or depressed, talking with a counselor and/or getting some antidepressant, even if used only temporarily, could help. I did, and it helped me.

I am also 41 years old, diagnosed in April with Stage 0. I think any and all emotions that you feel are valid. Let your family and friends be there for you. Talk to people about how you feel, it helps. Before you know it you will realize that you are already fighting the cancer. Sending you hugs and let us know how your journey is going.

Danielle3, first, I'm sending you a virtual hug. Now: I cried, too, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There are no rules for what we feel. I felt terror, great sadness...hope and resolve to get the best possible treatment to rid myself of the cancer. Please know that breast cancer - many cancers - is not a death sentence. There are many, many survivors (I've been okay since my diagnosis in 1999).

If it turns out you'll need chemo, know that chemo is not horrible. The anti-nausea meds work well. Chemo is no fun, but it's doable.

Please keep us WhatNexters posted on your progress towards returning to health and going on with your life. Best of luck to you -
