New girl alert! Just looking for people who understand

Hey there everyone! I am a young girl who has been diagnosed with cervical cancer but at an early stage. I have had an operation, chemotherapy and now just started radiotherapy and surprisingly I’m finding this the hardest which is a shock because I was thinking this would be the easiest part! I feel I am keeping it together quite well until my boyfriend left and now I feel so alone. The emotional part of everything is starting to get on top of me. Any questions or insight is much welcomed!

    Hey Chrissie, 

    Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much that means to me! I haven't been on here long but you have been the most lovliest to talk to and so caring. I thank you so much, it's messages like this that make such a difference to emotions and feelings and I can safely say you have made my day. You are amazing too, I've felt more comfort and happiness talking on here than I have for most of my cancer journey so thank you so so much. 

    I am sending you the biggest hugs too, thank you for being proud of me, 

    Bex xx

    Chrissie!

    I NEVER said Bexi was wollowing in self pity but try NOT too as I know it's so easy to fall into that mindset!

    It's harder for a man to reply without coming across as a dating site I was just trying to be helpful with hopefully some words of encourgement.

    It was NOT rubbish and yes I have read the replies to the young lady with replies like yours whats the point of trying to be kind to a complete stranger!

    Hey, yeh I definitely will, thank you. I just wanna say also on Chrissie’s behalf that I’m sure she didn’t mean anything bad towards you in her message to me, it’s just ive spoke with her quite a bit and feels she’s knows me well even though it’s only been a few days. Thank you for your kind words and I will definitely keep everyone updated I’m on here everyday now

    Hi there ..

    I'm just a very protive lady, esp to those who are so young and as we know it's a very scary time ... Maybe it's a man's way of saying things ... And maybe comes accross in a way you diddnt mean ... 

    This is an amazing chat site, and it's there to encourage and help ... I'm sure you'll find others on here you can help with your expierance of your own cancer ... I'm sure you will be an asset to others on their journey .. butbi respectively ask you to think carefully how some things are said ... Though all opinions put thoughtfully are good to hear ..

    I wish you well on your journey ... Chrissie...

    Just think I have to say .. your question on " what's the point of being kind to a complete stranger"  is exactly what we do on here .. none of us know each other, yet we have an invisible bond that cancer gives us .. and I for one, care very much about these buddies on here that I'll probly never meet, but feel so honered and humbled by them ...  and feel as close as some family ... And like families don't always agree ... But come to gether when we need support ... kind thoughts are sent to you ...

    Chrissie ....
