Hello Charlotte,

It sounds like there have been a lot of changes for you in the last year. Despite that you sound like a very practical person actively dealing with what comes your way. Do you have family or other support system where you are now?

Mammograms work okay most of the time, but unfortunately for some the cancer can be indistinguishable from other breast tissue. As shocking as it is to find out the bad news, it is good that you trusted your own perceptions with this new lump instead of just passively waiting for the next exam.

This site is a very good support group and may be all that you need, but you can also find out if there is a local support group where you live where you might find information that is particularly helpful in figuring out the local ins and outs about how to deal with things financially.

Please let us know how things go.
