Hi All
I'm a 42 year old wife and mum of 3 who has recently (few weeks back) lost my young mum aged 59 to cancer..Not breast. Lifestyle related.
Ive just been told I have breast cancer and my whole world has fell, nothing seems to make sense anymore and if I'm honest I can't stop crying and feel like I'm suffocating. Can't eat or sleep and I'm struggling.
I've had cysts in the past, drained and then all good.
It 6 days since diagnosis. I'm having a lumpectomy in 2 weeks and some nodes taken then radiotherapy and I'm looking for some positivity to hold on to please. The waiting is awful and self isolating prior to op is awful.
I've always been healthy, don't smoke or drink and can't get my head round why this has happened. I'm questioning everything I eat, drink and do..... I'm going insane. Can't imagine ever feeling OK after this. Any tips please xxx
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear that you have just lost your mum to cancer and are newly diagnosed yourself. It's no wonder that you're feeling as you do.
I can see that you've recently joined both the main group and the Breast cancer for the under-50s forum group and I'm sure if you post in either of these you'll find lots of people who will be happy to share their experiences with you, answer any questions that they can and generally provide you with support.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really 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 '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.
