    So sorry. You are much too young to be dealing with BC. Yes it does get easier. You will be surprised how fast the process goes once you are DX.

    The women on this website are the best. We are all here for the same reason although in various stages of our disease but it proves it is doable. No one wanted to be part of this group but it is what it is. Breast cancer doesn't define us and it won't define you either.

    Make sure though you have support. Family, friends or whoever can help you emotionally and physically. You don't have to go it alone.

    We are all here to help you in any way we can. Keep the faith and kept us posted.

    Diane

    I am so sorry you have had this news. This is a club we all didn't apply to, but are members nonetheless. You will find a lot of supportive people here. I checked out your other posts and see you have been through weeks of worry. I will say this time is the worst. Just waiting for results, pathology and wondering what it all means is horrible. I don't think a have before or since cried so hard as at that timel All those scans and test results, and lots of appointments. Try to have some one with you to help you get your head around what you are being told. If you need some help with anxiety - do ask your GP. Distraction and fresh air are also good for you too.

    This site is such a great resource, so try to stay off Dr Google. I used the forums and posts to try to decifer all the new terms and to try to make sense of what as happening emotionally. Ask us if you can't find your answer.

    It may seem that now it can never get better, but it does once you have an idea what you are facing, and what your treatment plan will be. Once you have your diagnosis you will be able to find likeminded people who have are going though something similar.

    Im a British expat living in the USA - so I send my best wishes to youfrom across the pond.

    Sarah
