I was so scared I couldn't even say the word "Cancer" for a while after the diagnosis. Remember the thing about treatment is , you may not have some of the things you read about on this board. Chemo is what scared me so much (right after the fear of dying). Chemo wasn't easy by any means but its not as bad as you they make it out to be in movies. At least it wasn't for me. And if you have chemo, remember, its only temporary. It helped me to count down the days and weeks until the end of treatment. There are some scary things you read about on this board but it helps you to stay educated. To me the scariest things are the things I don't know. If I can read about how other people are doing and coping, it helps me to understand and to cope. Welcome to the board. Any questions you have, and you'll probably have a lot, someone on this board can usually help. Berta
