Hi Star,
Welcome to Cancer Chat.
I am so sorry to hear that you, like me, have been unfortunate enough to have two cancer diagnoses. Fortunately, both of mine have been breast primaries. You have been through a lot in the past year. How have you coped with it all?
I was diagnosed 7 years ago and then a year later. I had a double mastectomy the last time and have had time to come to terms with my diagnoses since then. To start with I was an absolute mess. As a professional person, I was disgusted with myself by the way that I reacted - it was all so totally out of character for me.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. You will find this site very useful as you travel your cancer journey. Most of the people here either have first-hand experience of cancer or are nursing someone afflicted by it.
There is always someone here if you want to talk or need support.
Kind regards,
Jolamine xx
