    Hi Beth I'm sorry to read all that your going through ,it's b

     Nver easy to be told you have Cancer, its hard to take in,and you kinda feel hopeless and lost and devastated And terribly scared of what is to come.

    I and many of us on here ,have felt the same way as your feeling now. 

    It's a scary place to find yourself in,but stay positive  think about the alternatives if you hadn't of found the lump, and not been diognosed, at least now you can get the treatments to help you beat this.

    Advice to you is just take each day at a time  and listen to your breast care team and Oncologist, and go with whatever treatments they suggest for you,they realy know best,so put your trust in them .

    I was petrified hence my name Jassoscared , its been tough at times , I had lumpectomy, all lymph nodes removed  from under my right arm, as it was my right breast that had the tumour and so cancer had spread there   ,I hasldn 8 sessions of chemotherapy started June 16th 2020 finished on 14th December 2020. 

    Started letrazole hormone chemotherapy tablets and Adcal tutti fruti Vitamin D and chewable Calcium tablets as well ,on the 27th February 2021.Started 15 sessions of Radiotherapy on the 10th March 2021 and just recently finished Radiotherapy on the 30th March 2021. I hated losing my hair ,but its starting to grow back ,I was worrird it wouldn't.

     I have got through it all and so has many of us in here,stay strong, stay positive,  and so will  you. Do not Google stuff ,and don't assume anything, take it step by step,day by day. Never compare yourself and your csncer to anyone's, you are unique and your tratment will be tailored to you,you can and vwill get through this, believing you will,  is your first step to being positive and beating this diesese, Cancer trestments have come along way,and you will be well looked after.  

    Hopefully this will have helped your fears, I know this Cancer chat forum and the people within it  have helped me tremendously.  I have written some poems on here about my feelings going through my journey, as I.love to write poems,it helped me and others found them comforting .Maybe you could write one on here too,helps to get your pent up.feelings out.

    Anyway I'm.here if you need to talk,your never alone  there are many that will probably reach out to you as well as me.. Xx
