Hi there ...

So sorry you've been diagnosed so young ... it seems on here, it's affecting those more so now ... 

Well I came on here in 2017 ... scared with a new diagnosis of breast cancer ... I had a grade 3 her 2 neg oestrogen positive lump ... and thought the worse and was looking ahead and thinking the worse ... a lovely lady on here took me under her wing... and I started chatting to another 5 / 6 new breast lasses .

Well I stopped panicking as my daughter in law said ,no more panic ... don't look ahead, concentrate on today ... we will take each problem as and when it comes up.... and well do it together ... so with the other lasses on here, we got our pink boxing gloves on, got in the ring and looked it in the eye ..

Most of those have gone back to their life post cancer... one lass has had two little ones after her treatment... and a couple of us stick round here, to help those other newly diagnosed... it's not a walk in the park ... it's like a rollercoaster ride... highs one minute and lows the next ... but if you hold on tight, wer all on there with you ... 

We here the sad stories,  but there's plenty living on after this diagnosis... so hold on in there ... sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie x

Hi [@Chriss]‍ 

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to send your message. 
I am still trying to take in exactly what it is, the positives/negatives and all the terminology is so new! 
it is great to know that there is a supportive community here, none of my family or friends know what to say or do, just like me so it's nice to have a safe space to sound off!

thanks again for messaging Chrissie, it really means a lot xx
