Hi yes you have been heard and seen! Sorry you find yourself in this site but there are lots of ladies who can help with your questions and offer support. You are probably be feeling really scared. At the moment we all understand as we have been where you are at the moment. If you share your diagnosis and your treatment plan you will find other women whoa re going through the shame pathway as you x
Hi there- you will get great support form this site-and the people you will meet will help you through all of this. I am almost finished 18 months of treatment and at the beginning I really could nt imagine that I could do it. I have come here, mainly as a browser butr have made freinds and stay in touch with people who still offer me support-I could’nt have done without their help. The helpline is just fantastic too so don’t hesitate to contact them should you need any questions answered etc-they are brilliant!
There will always be someone on this site who can hold your hand and offer some sound advice.
Thank u for the warm welcome
Hiya, the site is a bit tricky at the moment, but you’ve managed to post so you’re not doing too badly! I’d definitely persevere with posting and reading. When I was diagnosed in march 2010, the site was quite literally a life line for me. I was 36 and feeling massively alone and isolated, but I met lovely ladies on here who I now count as amongst my best friends. I joined a treatment thread of ladies going through chemo at the same time as me (I was a week or two ahead of most of them so we decided I was the advance reconnaisance force…) and I met other ladies my own age who I still talk to daily, and i arranged a meet up of local ladies too. All these were my main support through such a horrible time, and all that support came from here. The forum does have problems which BCC are aware of and are working hard to rectify, but the users are still just as knowledgable, supportive and friendly as ever. Don’t be too scared at the negative/worrying stuff you read, remember that most people who are posting are doing so because they need support NOW, the ones who have come out the other side or who aren’t suffering too much are off enjoying their lives outside of cancer-ville. Xxx
