Hi Suez,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am so sorry to hear that you have received a cancer diagnosis and that your son has his own battles with cancer too. Do you know what type, or stage, your breast cancer is? Most of us would agree that this is one of the hardest parts of our cancer journey. This is possibly because there are so many unknowns to deal with. 

I have no doubt that you are a strong person. We don't always know how strong we are, until being strong is the only choice we have. When challenged like this, we find hidden depths, that we never even knew we had. You will find it gets easier once you know what treatment you'll be having and can get on with things. I am glad to hear that you have good friends locally, but we don't always want to burden them with our woes. Many people find it easier to chat here amongst virtual strangers, who know exactly how you feel, because we have experienced it first hand. You need never feel alone, now that you have found us, as there's always someone here for you.

Please keep in touch and let us know know you get on with your treatment plans next week. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you Jolamine - just to know there are people out there helps although at the moment it all seems bleak. By the way, my name should have been Suze - I mistyped the user name in my hurry to register, never mind.

I will definitely get back to you when I get my treatment plan, for sure I shall need the support of all the kind strong people on this site

Love Sue xx
