I'm sorry. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer - I am also alone. I have my days where I feel torn down as well, but I try to do those things that I found joy in before I was diagnosed and that cloud descended upon my life. I have lost interest in some things I enjoyed, but I try to find joy in the things I have to do. I lost my mom to breast cancer. Sometimes what helps me is thinking of her and even all the people that died in the towers at 9/11 and I think about how those people would love to be in my shoes, dealing with what I am, just to be alive again. That helps me - it also makes me feel at times that I have an obligation to live my life for them because they can't. Hope that helps

@Jacobrock25
he’s beautiful!!! Where is your mom? I could use mine too but she passed from breast cancer 25 years ago. There are support groups available. I’m sure you can find one in your area. Where do you live? Be strong, please!!!

@Jacobrock25 sorry about your mom. I was with my mom when she passed as well. Please locate a support group and don’t give up. You’re worth more than that!! Sorry getting back so late, just had my surgery today. Have to definitely do radiation and find out next week if I need chemo - based on my tumor and lymph nodes they took out today. I’m 55 and am not giving up. You’re 29!!!! You can do this!! Try to keep a positive attitude. Find a purpose for this, find the meaning, something you can take away from this. It’ll help!! You are stronger than you think!!
prayers for you, Kris

New to this. I don't speak about it. But I know that this is what ends me .I have been through a lot in life. But I have lived. I see an oncologist the 30th. My neurologist wants to do whole brain radiation. Im not sure about that. I've had 2 surgeries and I wish I had not. Some times I think I am lucky I see my life as good. I wish everyone well in your fight.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
