I am one year diagnosed and all of a sudden I feel the same way. Family and friends burned out listening but they don't really want to hear my true concerns - like what is my life expectancy. Family hears only hears what they want to hear. Friends aren't around as much as when I was first diagnosed. Now looking for a support group in Austin.

Hello, new to this site. I am in need of support, I think my family is tired of all that goes with my diagnosis and concerns. Does anyone feel the way I do? Did anyone start chemo, then had surgery? The fear of the unknow has almost consumed me since initial diagnosis?

Oh No (Unsure what to expect from surgery in six weeks and if able to have reconstruction at same time, afraid of diagnosis it spread or the chemo did not work!)
