Hi margiermc

I am sorry you need us, but so glad you found us! Being scared is part of the package. We've all been there, and we keep going back for more! But the times between the bouts of fear increase. We learn to live with it. We find a new normal.

Could you tell us a bit more about your diagnosis and treatment? Perhaps we can make you feel a bit better. Many of us are doing well, and some of us are years and years out from diagnosis.

It's okay to be scared. You've been dealing with a life threatening disease. But you are still here! And you've come to the place where nobody will judge you or tell you to think positive. We are here to listen and to support you.

Love

Jacqueline
