Just starting treatment. Have a rare form of breast cancer called Pagets disease. Have a biopsy of the lumps in my breast. They want to make sure its progesterone estrogen negative like the other viopsy. Im scared of the upcoming treatment mostly because I live alone and have very little physical support

Living alone during cancer treatment can feel overwhelming, and it's completely understandable to feel scared about managing everything on your own. Many people in this community have found creative ways to build support networks, from connecting with neighbors to utilizing local cancer support services that can help with practical needs like transportation to appointments or meal delivery. Consider reaching out to your treatment center's social worker or patient navigator, as they often have resources specifically for patients who need extra support during treatment.
