I found out yesterday I have 99.9% certainty of having breast cancer. I had mammos, ultrasound and biopsy. Just waiting for the results for confirmation but my consultant convinced it is cancer. I find out in a couple of days what the plan is. I am terrified and have no idea how to tell my 19 year old son as it will destroy him. I feel sick every time I think about it. I only hope it will get easier to deal with.

  • Thanks for the support. Now the shock has worn off I am determined to take my life back and fight this, I think I have entered the angry phase!

    I hope your recovery goes well and yes can’t wait to be at that stage.

     I am being brave because I haven’t had surgery yet and Mariella is about to have hers, sending love to you all x

  • Thank you. That’s the spirit fight this and you will. For me surgery wasn’t that bad even though I had the fears of a general anaesthetic as I had never had a operation in my life  but one min you are petrified crying and start feeling drowsy then you wake up ok a bit uncomfortable but you will be given pain relief and the main thing is that they have removed the cancer. Once I got my head into that zone it wasn’t that bad. It took me some time to look at my surgery but everyone is so different. I think what I am trying to say is try not to fear because other parts of the journey I found harder. 

    Good luck with it all. 

    Love Netty xx
