I’m 49 and today was told I’d need another biopsy as Cancer deeper in the breast. Until this is done I haven’t a clue what type of cancer it is or at what stage. In one day I have felt so many emotions that have taken me by surprise. Can anyone recommend anything to stop my anxiety? In the past I’ve suffered with panic attacks and right now I feel one could happen any minute. At the same time I’m trying to be strong for my girls and yet deep down I feel broken. It would just be nice to connect with anyone who is newly diagnosed and experiencing similar feelings. I think not being given a timeframe of when things are happening is hard too.
I. Feel the same overwhelmed hope you feel better todsy sorry for late reply xx
Hi. You are not alone. So many of us out there are completely broken and lost. The anxiety has become a constant in my life, like breathing or blinking. Wish I could say good things to put your mind at ease but just know this, you are not alone and one day this suffering will end x
