Re: New to the Group
Hi Tracie -
I'm sorry you are part of this 'club' but am glad you have found this site. There are many wonderful people here with lots of knowledge, experience, compassion and support. You've come to a good place.
You are so right... the dx really sucks and you have much to deal with emotionally and physically in the coming months. But you have also much to look forward to as a survivor. There are many success stories here and all kinds of reasons for hope.
It will be 9 yrs this June since I was dx. The road has been very bumpy and scary at times, but I've found strength and learning and many life blessings along the path. You will too.
It sounds like you are already leading a healthy lifestyle so you are going into this treatment mode healthy and strong. Keep it up, take time to rest, be good to yourself, come here for questions and support and to draw strength from the many wise women (& men) here.
I'm sure others will be chiming in soon.
Pam
