- "My Doctor just told me I have breast cancer! What do I do first? How do I tell my family? What do I say tomorrow at my job?"
- "I know it's the middle of the night. My family and friends have been by my side all day, and they need their rest. But, I am so afraid and I need to talk to someone."
- “The doctor told me so much today, and I am so confused. I need to sort out this information."
- "I am really afraid of this first chemo."
- "I am so worried I am not doing anything right for my wife. It's hard to be strong when I am so torn up inside."
Everyone going through breast cancer, either personally or as a caregiver, should have someone with whom they can share their feelings.
