Hi All, 

I am gutted to get diagnosed with grade 1 breast cancer. I had serious difficulties come to terms with this when the doctor told me the results of the biopsy.

Next step is MRI and awaiting the results of HER tests. Surgery is inevitable the doctor said and I want to know if anyone was in a similar situation and how long did it take to recover post surgery.

My other problem is that I am scared of losing hair if I am recommended chemo and also I am worried about my child. I can’t sleep and cannot focus on anything. I feel low and have this bad feeling all the time. It’s really hard as I never smoked or drank alcohol. But have discovered that my aunty had breast cancer and she survived due 20-30 years after the operation. 

i know many people are in worse situation than me but getting diagnosed with cancer has broken me down.

I would love to hear if anyone went through similar experience and how was it post surgery. I don’t want to take more than a week off work.
