Hello @margaret2

Welcome to Mayo Connect. While I have not had breast cancer, I have had 3 surgeries for a rare form of cancer and I can understand just a little as to what you are feeling. It can be devastating to get the news that there is yet another cancer to deal with. I certainly admire your ability to go back to work as I'm sure you are not feeling all that great right now.

I see that you have received a lot of support from other Members already. If you are looking for a personal support group, I would like to suggest that you contact the local American Cancer Society in your area. They will undoubtedly have a list of groups nearby.

Will you keep in touch?

Margaret, can you ask your oncologist if they have a cancer coordinator and if not if they know of any support groups? Ours had information for our hospital group, but also provided information from other medical centers that had support groups and classes. Also, when I went for radiation that office also had information for support groups, yoga, etc.

To find groups on Connect, go the Groups Directory https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups/
I've uploaded 2 images to show how to find the Groups Directory in the menu on a computer or mobile device. You can search for groups using the search or sort them alphabetically etc.
