Lauren521,

I'm so sorry you have to go thru this , don't even think of suicide

you can do this get your treatment and go on with your life.

Your friends are afraid they don't know what to said.

If you are a openly leabian women you are a very strong person

already you can get thru this.

Try to find a support group close to you , you are not alone

write back let us know what kind of breast cancer you have

and a little about yourself. I would love to hear from you.

              Remember Your not Alone

lauren - josiecat is right...you can do this and get on with your life. Trust me, I understand. Until 3 years ago I was fit, active and had a job I loved making good money. Then poof...one broken ankle and everything changed. Three years recovering and living with daily pain and I finally gave up the job in hopes of having a better life if I was on my feet less. Now, I find out I have bc? Sometimes it can all just seem overwhelming, but - it's not. If you take it one thing at a time. You can get through this. Lesbians, like anyone else, have a hard time understanding - most of my gay friends at the bars are in denial about something so they are not going to be the pillars you need right now. Let us know where you are, we can help you find resources to help you through. Don't give suicide a voice in your head, it's not an option. Depression sucks - I have lived with it all my life...but you do get through the fog! You reached out and we are here to help...no one should have to go through this nightmare alone! Let us know how you are and a little about you / where you are so we can get you some info...there are TONS of women here on these boards who have all been through it...gay/straight -the fears and emotions are the same.

Lauren, you are strong and you will make it through this.  This too shall pass and you will have your life back.  You can make some better friends, change bars, Do you have any support from parents? sisters or brothers?  Please hang in there.

Lauren - I hope you girls don't mind me posting - I'm not a lesbian - but a woman who just finished surgery, chemo, radiation (today was my last rad).  I was diagnosed w/stage IIIA - cancer in 5 out of 10 lymph nodes. Other women are afraid. It hit me especially when I was walking into the hospital these last 6 1/2 weeks for radiation, with a bandana on my head at 1st and then nothing - women would not look me in the eyes!  They were afraid of what they saw.  Breast cancer is growing and affecting more & more women every year. Unfortunately, we just remind them that it could be them. 

But there are also very caring people out here, so Lauren find those people however you can (and it seems like you've got a couple of them right here that you can vent to reach out to). Life is precious.

Treat yourself well right now.  You deserve that.  Believe me you will come out of this journey a different person.  I know I have.  Be strong, be patient with yourself, love yourself.
