Hi I’m new to this group... I was diagnosed with breast cancer  about 6 weeks ago and had a mastectomy with reconstruction on Tuesday this week. Still trying to process it all Disappointed relieved

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and, although I didn't have this type of cancer, I can fully understand why you'd still be coming to terms with it. Mine was diagnosed three years ago but I can remember very clearly how numb I felt immediately afterwards. However, there will come a time when it's not the first thing that you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about when you go to bed.

    I see that you have found and posted in the breast cancer group which is great, as you can't beat the support you receive from others who understand what you're going through.

    When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
