Hello Sisterchic11.  So sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer 5 (nearly 6) years ago, and I also went through the chemo and the loss of my hair.   I can definitely understand why you feel so downhearted...........a cancer diagnosis is a bit like being hit with a sledge hammer isn't it?  I also understand why you are trying to be brave for the sake of your family.  I think it is our natural instinct to want to protect our loved ones from worry.  The only thing I can do is to tell you that I know how you are feeling, and that this community here on Cancer Chat are here for you whenever you need to talk, or even to simply vent your frustration!  Good luck on your journey, my thoughts and prayers are with you, x

Thanks Blue-Girl so much for such a prompt and thoughtful message. Yes definitely feels like been hit by a sledgehammer, Yes I think that’s what it is just want to protect our family from it.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers it means a lot. Sending you best New Year Wishes to you. ️

Thank you so much, x
