There is a lot of information out there about breast cancer; hundreds of websites, books, blogs, constant news updates. It can be overwhelming. In conducting your own research, try to narrow things down by the stage you are in, not only the stage of the cancer but your learning stage. If you have just been diagnosed, concentrate on learning what to expect - this will help prepare yourself.

Post questions, so that others can let you know what is happening based on their own personal experiences.

Learning about your cancer, may be amazing scary at the beginning but it is there and it exists. I have found that the more I know or talk about it the better I am able to come to grips with the reality of it. Now the scariness is still there but at a lower amount.
