Hi monamo, just quick note to tell you I am thinking of you.

I was diagnosed last April at the age of 39, Stage IIa, ER/PR positive.

I see that your status states that you haven't started treatment yet, and are probably considering your options from your last question that I answered.

The first month after diagnosis is such a whirlwind, please try to get rest when you can. Pray for calmness and wisdom while you are assembling your medical team.

Your photo suggests that you are very active - this year will be an excercise in patience as you are forced to slow down and maybe even stop while your body is healing. Hang in there!! I had a double mas and chemo last year, and patience was not a strong suit before that. It was so hard to physically not be able to go and do! One year from now (and maybe sooner) you will be back to full steam ahead!

Thinking of you- please let me know if you have any questions that I might be able to answer.

Welcome to the WhatNext family! The WhatNext family is made up of people like you who are looking for help or looking to help others. To help you along your journey the WhatNext family has put together a Beginner's Guide to Cancer that I highly recommend you check-out here: http://bit.ly/10BQKCi.

Hello...you will find wonderful people, information and support here...the first few weeks are so hard until you get your team, and plan, in place...I would suggest you try to bring someone to each appointment as there is so much discussed and an extra set of ears is always a good thing...I also found a notebook binder to be very helpful...I could divide it into sections for surgery, radiation, oncology, etc. I also kept every business card and phone number
in it as well as my work Leave of Absence paperwork.
Please let us know how we can help...the more info you can give us about your journey so far, the better we can help you when we answer your questions...sending you my best wishes and a sincere welcome...YOU ARE NOT ALONE! we are all here for you.
