    Hello...sorry you had to find us but so glad you did...you will find a wealth of information, experience and support here...just let us know how we can help...the first weeks are the hardest until the plan takes shape...you will be seeing a breast surgeon so that is your first step...I would try to bring someone with you as an extra set of ears is always helpful...get a binder to keep all the information you will get in one place...also keep all the phone numbers you will be using in one place along with referrals, Leave of Absence paperwork, (if you are working be sure to check with Human Resources, your surgeon's office staff will help with the forms), etc.
    Check in with us often and ask us anything...someone is always around to get back to you...post your questions in the question box so many people get to see it and you will get more responses...I wish you good luck and am sending along positive thoughts and prayers...God bless!

    Welcome, fellow Ohioan, to this great site where you can talk to people going through similar things! I'm also ER positive and taking an estrogen blocker, Femara. It has been working really well for me. The best of luck to you.

    Hello and welcome, we are glad you found 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.
