Hey all, this is a serious question, so keep your child-like comments and trolling out of here. I recently had a family member diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer and wondering if anyone here has been affected by the disease, either directly or indirectly; it doesn't matter.
I don't really quite know how to react or take this news. It makes me feel very scared and weak as a person and my loved one. I've looked for support groups in the area at local hospitals and organizations. Nothing really out there in-person, just over-the-phone groups that meet once a month. I got real attitude and sass from some people from one of the local organizations when I asked if she knew of any places where I could go for support. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but it really pissed me off.
I've also been doing a lot of reading and such, but nothing really sinks in as it's written by professional copywriters at these larger corporations/organizations that have agendas. I'd rather get real advice and insight from real folks here.
Anyways, I just need some direction or advice from people that may have dealt with this in their own lives. Thanks guys.
