I'm very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. What are they recommending as follow-up treatment? If you need to speak to someone who's been through something similar, please call SHARE's HelpLine--844-ASK-SHARE. They can usually match people up with a peer who's had a similar diagnosis. The best of luck to you.

So sorry to hear this news Most likely besides surgery you will have to chemo and radiation treatment Women who I have talked to who have had a similar diagnosis have had a good outcome. It is a tough journey but most of us go through it and live healthy lives afterwards. If you can, try going to a support group locally. Just talking with others and getting things off our chests can be very helpful. We are also here to help you through this journey. Please post when you feel the need to reach out.
