Susan
I know so many have shared their stories/support with you.
I was diagnosed a year and a half ago at age 34 with a 3 and a half year old.
You are at the hardest point - trying to gather info.... what stage, etc. Just hang in there. I look back at those 3 weeks from dx to surgery as my hell. Take it one day at a time. Be thankful you/they found it when they/you did and not later!!
I couldn't look at my son for a week. It was terrible. But Tom is right - there are so many breakthroughs in bc... and more every day!!!!! There are so manyoptions.
I feel for you! I understand. Hang in there. It will get better! You will see both your strength and the goodness in those who will help you.
Another thing- it was soooooo hard for me to accept help... I learned to. So many people will want to help - please let them. People feel fulfilled when they can help. You will be able to give back later!! Accept offers to babysit - meals etc.
Be strong - you are!
