Zina...Well, keep posting and tell us how we can help. It's especially hard being alone when we go through everything associated with a cancer diagnosis!
If you can accept us as "cyber-friends," then, you won't be truly alone, will you?

Also look into joining a support group in your city. A lot of groups have weekly meetings, events and provide services. This board provides phone numbers to locate a group in your area (see the link below).
Best,

Dear Zina:
When I first came to these boards I was lonely, scared, and very sad. I'm still struggling with those feelings, but the wonderful women here have shared, encouraged, and helped me find hope. There's great kindness here.
I also contacted the American Cancer Society and they were able to connect me to a volunteer breast cancer survivor that lived near me and that I could talk to. We spoke by phone and emailed for weeks. We finally met for 'coffee and a hug' a week ago. You can call 1-800-227-2345 to see if they have a volunteer near you or that you can talk with on the phone.
If you reach out to the other women here they will share and help.
You've come to a good place. You are not alone.
Hang in there - be good to you.

Hi Zina! I PM'd you back, but just want to add that I think the idea of finding another survivor in your city is a very good one. You might also ask if they have a social worker or counselor at the clinic or hospital where you have treatments because he or she could hook you up with some of the groups in the area where you can meet other survivors too.
I understand also about going home alone when all of the other women in your group are married and have families to return to. Just try to stay busy with us here or reading some good, light, fun books (in your native language?) or renting some fun & funny movies. This period in your life WILL soon pass and you can get back to some "normal" living and finding connections in your local area.
Hang in there, Zina. It seems much worse now, but please know that the sun will shine once again for you!
