Hi. Welcome. The ladies here are lovely and so supportive. Share, vent, ask questions whenever you feel ready. I don't always post but I do follow the conversations on here - I have learned a lot and find many experiences quite uplifting. Carry on enjoying your sea walks - I am quite envious. 🤗 Jackie

Yes, it is ghastly. The news tears your insides out. It is awful. But treatment starts and you make new friends who understand. You get hope. There is huge positivity on this forum and lots of good advice.You start to look at cancer as a chronic disease -- like COPD or heart failure -- that you can treat medically and live with. It s not an immediate death sentence.

Take your time to get used to the diagnosis and recover from what has been a heart-wrenching shock. And then join us all in the battle against this goddamn awful disease. Start treatment as soon as you can.

A word of advice -- don't google endlessly. There is a lot of rubbish on the web. Go to reputable sites like this one or Macmillan or Cancer Research. I found it a great help to tell everyone right away. I was given support by the most surprising people. But you have to digest the news first and tell people when it is right for you.

Thinking of you and hoping you start to feel more positive very soon x

Hi. Take your time. The sea walks, the sunshine will become part of your overall treatment and often the effect of such therapy is more positive than we realise. The ovacome team attached to the forum are a great support aswell as the members. Wishing you well.xx

We’ll all be with you through the good & bad times. It is such a massive shock at first. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feel.

Take good care xxx
