Cancer Support

No one wants this diagnosis, but at least we can help as best we we can.

Share as much as you are comfortable; can we at ask your age )and rough location, like "southwest&quot so to put in in context? You already mentioned you have a mother and daughters. Did they give you a staging number (how much they think it has spread, if any?).

I don't have breast canceer myself, so I'll defer questions about that to others. Mine is late stage, but of another origination.

The big thing is that you always have people to talk to here, and you can PM us if you ask (I'll preempt and say it's okay to PM myself, at least). And if you need phone numbers, you can usually get a few as well.

Unless you have some fast-moving four-days-to-live diagnosis, most of this stuff is slow enough to give you a chance to wrap your brain around and not panic and jump to conclusions. It can take longer to die than one might think. I wish you the best, and let us know how it's going.
