how I feel about this breast cancer

1 minute read time.

2 b honest I don't know what to say as im still in shock im a  29 year old mother of 3 and I have been told I have breast cancer I started my treatment last week and I felt terrible but part of me is upset and blaming myself coz I kept putting it off to go see the doctor but now I did and got told the treatment is hoprrible but I hope I will get better as I want to see my kids grow up but im keeping myself busy atm as im trying to set up my own business to do a support group/phone line to help other people like me get through it coz if it wasn't for macmillan I wouldn't be able to get through it don't get me wrong my husband helps when he can but id ont like talking to him boiut how I feel etc etc I just wish I could be feeling better as some days I cant even get out of bed but im hoping that this business I have decided to call care angels will be up and running soon and I will be able to help others even if its coming for a cuppa and listening to others and taking away some useful advise on anything but atm its getting it up and running but I will get there

    Evening Erica,  Why don't you come on over to the Breast Group and say 'Hi' ? There are loads of us at various stages of treatment and some old ands way out of the treatment tunnel so there will always be someone at the same stage as you as you ride the roller coaster.

    Take care,  George & Jackie (breast group)

    replying to fighting30...I was 28 when I was diagnosed. it was a shock as I never ever thought it would be that..when I got told It was like the room sinking in on me and I wanted to run...but if I ran it would still be wiv me,,i had treatment and I wont lie it was the worst thing in the whole world unless like us that have been and are going thro it it hard 2 describe just exactly how it makes u feel. it was a tough time 4 me..but now ill be two years clear in june ..ive had my reconstruction and now waiting 2 have last op (implants) but like u I was young with a child he was only 5 at the time,,but I got through it and so will you. its hard but be4 u no it, it will be the end and u will learn 2 smile and be happy again. I have a story 2 tell about my experience and like 2 share it with others that are going through it or have been through it...even though u have family and friends its still a lonely place as its only happening 2 u well that's how I use 2 feel so talking 2 people like me or some1 eles on here helps and makes that lonely place not feel so lonely..i know there are so many people on here and other sites that you can talk to but if u ever wanna chat iam always here..i no that sounds strange as we dnt no each other but I no wat ur going through take care mayb here from u soon xx
