Hello Lorna,

Starting medication for cancer is really scary, but hopefully it won’t be as bad as you imagine. When I went for my first round of chemo I couldn’t stop crying and was totally petrified, then I found the whole experience to be a complete anti-climax.

I just wanted to let you know that Ovacome, the group you have posted in, is for women with ovarian cancer and their supporters. If you search HealthUnlocked, I expect you will be able to find a forum for breast cancer, and the members there might be able to offer you more help than we can.

Good luck,

Vicki x
