Recently diagnosed with Breast cancer

Hi

I know it's terrifying at first but you will get lots of support here. The waiting around for results is the absolute pits, the worst feeling ever. Once you have a treatment plan you will start to feel better.

I too have kids and I know it's so hard to keep a happy face on when inside you are paralysed with fear. You will find a strength you didn't know you had. 

I was successfully treated for BC in 2017. Unfortunately I now have another tumour in the other side for which I'm about to start chemo.

When will you get your next set of results? 

Hi Haysie , great to hear you got through it but am so sorry to hear you have another tumor . As you said you will find the strength to get through it if you did it once you can do it again . 

Ive to have an MRI tomorrow which I’m terrified of and then back next Tuesday for results . I’m so worried as any little ache or pain I’m fearing the worst thinking it has spread . I keep looking up online I know I shouldn’t . 

I still can’t believe this is happening to me thank you for tour reply x

If you can please stay off Dr Google! A lot of the info is outdated and plain wrong in some instances. Stick to sites like this or BC care or BC now. Lots of info is there without the horror stories.

I had an MRI for my first cancer. It is a bit scary but not as bad as you're probably imagining. You have to lie on your front with your boobs in 'cups' for want of a better word. I think it takes about 20 minutes if I remember.

It took me a long long time to accept what I was going through so don't be too hard on yourself x

I will stay off it . Thank you for letting me know about the MRI . I just want it over and done with now . Will try and have s good weekend and not think too much about Tuesday . 

Thank you for your kind words xx

Feel free to come on here and rant if you're feeling overwhelmed xx

Firstly so sorry you find yourself here . 

 I didn’t have an MRI I had the ct and bone scans I also have 4 children, although only 2 at home. 

I was convinced cancer would have spread but luckily it had stopped at the Lymph nodes. So try not to worry I know it’s a lot easier to say than do.

Completely natural to worry about your family too, I waited to tell my younger kids till I had all the results. They knew I’d had a lump removed in October but not a mastectomy.

After all results and a plan in place for treatment I told them in January about the lump and it was gone along with the lymph nodes and I was starting chemo as a precaution. Personal choice, I didn’t want them to worry about my scan results etc it was hard enough for us to deal with.

Hope all goes well for you, let us know how you get on x

Hi Beachwalker ,

thank you so much for your support . Sorry to hear what you have had to go through also . 

Im very positive today and am ready to fight . I’m just going to keep focusing on what the dr said to me when he told me I had BC, he said it was treatable and I cried and said I didn’t want to die and he said I wasn’t . 

I will let you know how I get on on Tuesday . 

Thanks again for your kind words . 

Talk soon xxxx

Hi, what colour discharge did you have? What was in the ultrasound? 

I had clear discharge and in ultrasound they found prominent duct , now waiting for the biopsy of the duct . Please reply 

You’re welcome. We are all here to support each other.

Glad you have been feeling positive.

Hope all went well yesterday, keep in touch x x
