I feel the need for more support groups especially in my City.

@Jaya345 This seems to be a common theme. @Suez39 was mentioning a similar thing to me. Who do you think should start these groups? Religious group? A medical clinic? The insurance company? Or do you think it can be grassroots and it can be started by online groups like on Facebook or Meetup?
Just something to think about- would love to see this discussion!

Symptoms and complications of breast cancer
What was your age and what initial symptoms did you experience at onset?
positive
@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.

Hello everyone,
How are you feeling today? 😊
Remission after breast cancer means the treatments have stopped, but ongoing care is essential to reduce the risk of the cancer returning and address any side effects from treatment.
As a patient, you may want to move on, but you might also feel alone and lost.
Many medical and social support teams offer personalized help, like nutrition and exercise workshops, and consultations to assist with employment, finances, and paperwork, and more.
So let me ask you: @Jennstovall913 @PattyWells @Marcyp3 @Jaya345 @MalindaH001 @Jennieb66 @Rowanheart @sonny16 @scarr70 @Munchkin @Andersoninaz @Dixie1954 @MightyNcy @Mgimenez @Jamice28 @DebraWinston @nickolebackman @Schultzy @Rosie64 @Nanmarie @a_copley78 @ChristinaK @Heather73 @tracy_lynn @MindyMorris @misspancake @Tikabug @dztwwp @handsumque @msbham @Tuffgirlca @Ari768 @lesmarjan15 @Jhinx7 @leilael @StacyT @Olivia123 @JanieGurl @clucas913 @MaryP21 @MrsCarr11 @Inès_ra_us198 @peanuzts @ChristinaG @KHFAMDOC @tfriel @Sears22 @cshoffstall @Aharju @Lasocalblue @skwiden @Lill55 @mendozatamila @Mama312 @Grantie @LuluLang @lemonpye2011 @Katie91821 @KyLakeGirl @BimBim5 @Justangiee15 @Missyg @CCherich @Lori09 @gg2222 @Clopez @SugarCub3 @Klreplogle @sherianne69 @ohnoagain @BevSpicer @Griffithdm @DarPerrotta @Lizabeth @jeangilmorej @Janetmaday @Luna1234 @Akolarova @Lazydazy @SusanBennett @Trinidad @Iamalifer @Ferdie @Diane2021 @Terimull @Joy113 @TheodoreM @juhachem @mamabear101 @Fluffytails03 @Sharon102 @ColleenTafaro @MNCOLLINS22 @pryazz29 @tinkerbell1950 @Movingon1
