I’m very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I too was given a breast cancer diagnosis in Dec 22. I wrote a poetry book about my experiences, in real-time, and painted pictures of my new body. It really helped me to process what was happening and accept myself. It was also a definite urge to be seen and heard. To have people witness this incomprehensible event. Please message me if you wish. Best of luck with everything.

Sorry to hear this Janet. Similar happened to me after a routine in December. The waiting is the worst bit. Your mind plays tricks. I was convinced it was my left when it turned out to be the right! Wishing you all fortitude.

I’m really sorry about your diagnosis Janet, after all that stress you’ve experienced already. But I’m glad to see you here. I find this platform to be way more inclusive, more open, people agree and disagree but you won’t get shadow-banned or cancelled. Rooting for you 🙏🏼
