Over the last five years I've been a home carer within community any way over last two years I have had on off problems with my back pain thinking due nature of my job. Walking call to call moving and handling I was back and forth with private physio and back in April I coughed and lump came up on my breast told private physio and she thought was pulled muscle. By mobility got worse in shoulder and back still worked went to local festivals walled and feww weeks ago told my sister about my lump and she is doctor got worried booked an appointment gp she was worried as hadn't pointed this out as was currently on sick eith back ache before thst back spasams 

Anyway day went doctors they concerned as didn't neeed we much or feel it but did loads got admitted enrrgancy or else would be waiting three weeks for mri scan as out patient come forward today I'm home after hospital less than week been diagnosed with breast cancer spread to back and bones some on skull my family. Are all heart broken in getting hormone tesatnebt any experience helpful thanks 

But I feel like this world I'm in living us bubble taking ny meds healthy eating eith family friends do supportive I feel like it's not kicked in yet I keep repeating yo myself about my diagnosis I've cried like three times  but everything seems like dream don't know make any sense at all im sorrt xxx

    Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
  • U might like to join the Breast cancer group where ppl will know more of what you're going through ( I had kidney cancer originally) I dare say a Community Champions will b in touch soon with more info

  • Just realised you're already a member of the Breast cancer for under 50s group. Sorry, it was the middle of the night !

    Hi Cazzy, so sorry to read your news, no wonder you're struggling to process. Can I recommend you join the Breast Cancer group, it gets lots more traffic than this group. I've had lots of support from the lovely women there and you'll most likely find someone who knows more than I do about your specific problems.

    Sending big hugs to you right now xx

    Hello can i first welcome you to the community, none of want to be here but under the circumstances its the best place to be. 

    The ladies have already given you brill advice and as said this group is quiet, The Breast Cancer Group is a lot busier, and you'll get lots more responses. 

    Think we all feel like we were in a bubble when we're first told, the thing is nothing can prepare you for it, the uncertainty of whats going to happen etc, but once you have a treatment plan it will be much easier.

    In the meantime keep talking to us, we'll get you through xxx
