Hi I have recently found out I have breast cancer everything was very quick I had a mastectomy nearly 3 weeks ago I'm 49 and a mother of 3 everything is very scary and waiting for appointment for results

welcome to the online community
you need to head over to the breast group, there's lots of chat thread going which you can join in with or just start a new one and introduce yourself.
or you can just lurk for a while and get to know what's what
how old are the kids ?
hugs
Carolyn
