hi to all, just found this site by 'goggling':' breast cancer get your life back together'. found you ladies! i guess that's how i'm feeling. Had lumpectomy and sentinal node biopsy last Monday, pathology results to come on Thursday.Have good supports with friend, husband, and co-workers, but already feel like somewhat of a 'burden" to lean on them too much.so, would welcome some communication here if that's okay?

    Welcome marly!  I'm glad you've found us.  There are lots of women here who are going through treatment and you'll be able to share your experiences with them.  And there are lots of women here who've completed treatment and can offer advice to help you get through this.  No matter how good the support is that you have at home, there is something about this whole experience that can't really be understood unless you've gone through it. 

    Good luck with your results on Thursday.  Here's hoping for negative nodes and no surprises (except good ones!).

    Welcome Marly... you might find chat a good support as well...you can actually chat with others who are on at the same time.

    How are you doing?  Which province are you in?  I'm in B.C.

    Hi Marly;

    Sorry you joined us...I found this site a godsend! It really helped me through tx as these gals knew what I was going through. My friends were concerned but didn't really understand my fears or SE's... let us know what the path report says.

    Hugs, cath

    Hi Marly

    I just finished tx.  Don't feel like you are a burden to your family.  They care about you and will help you be strong when you need to lean on them.  Let us know your results.  We will be glad to help out.  It feels real good to not feel neurotic because other people feel like you do out there.

    take care and prayers out to you

    KIM

    Welcome.

    don't feel like you are a burden to people.

    You will receive a lot of offers of help.

    Take them. Allow yourself to be helped.

    People love you for who you are and want to help out if they can.

    But you need to let them in first.

    Sorry that you have to go through all of this :(

    Hugs,

    Christine
