Re: Newly diagnosed and feeling lost

Hi belle, I'm anna and im from Sydney, I have terminal brain cancer and I understand how hard it is, especially at a young age. It's difficult with your own friends, because they all love you and want to understand what it's like to have cancer and fight ur way through treatment. Let alone deal with your mortality at our age. Id love to get to know you and offer support, but completely appreciate if that's the last thing that you want. My heart sank reading your msg because I can understand how it feels. Your welcome to contact me at: annatarrant_@hotmail.com
