Breast cancer

Hi, I have recently been diagnosed also having a mastectomy at the end of the month as the cancer is too big. My lump is also quite painful , I wonder if it is in my mind that it hurts . I can certainly feel the lump , which I couldn’t before . 

So sorry to hear I definitely feel the lump and it's definitely got bigger I don't kniw what I am getting done yet go on 17th my mind is all over the place a feel terrible as it's my sons birthday the same day x

Oh no! Fingers crossed for you I know what  you mean about your mind being all over the place . I had a few weeks of hospital appointments that felt like I was in limbo . Nothing happening , no answers, just thoughts. To be honest once I had the answer and knew what was happening , though scary , I do feel like it’s better to know to deal with it . 
hoping you can enjoy your sons birthday as much as you can x 

Thank you so much and yea when you don't get answers your head is everywhere thinking all sorts when a got checked out a could tell when the woman was scanning me a asked her please give me it straight and she just said so sorry but it is cancer my heart sunk am trying not to think about it just trying to keep things normal as much as possible xx

One of the doctors told me , people who are positive respond and recover well from treatment . Not really sure how true this but a lovely idea x .

Would be lovely if it is true have you started treatment or anything yetx

Nothing yet . They did suggest chemo first - which I was terrified by, but the oncologist decided I would not benefit as my type of cancer does not respond well to . Plan is to operate , radiotherapy and hormone treatment then reconstruction. May need chemo after but fingers crossed won’t need to . I know it is going to tough at times . But we can do this to be around for those around us x 

You’ve got this x 

We have got this hunny we won't let it beat us xx
