Hi a week before Christmas my husband (46) has been diagnosed with colorectal tumour. I also went to check out a breast lump I had noticed and hoped it was only a cyst but they took it very seriously and many biopsies were taken as suspicious things found in both breasts. I have a 3 week wait at least due to covid backlog for these results. Im trying not to let this overwhelm me but it's really hard. My son is nearly 17 and daughter 20 and suffers from anxiety and depression.Hoping for support and people who understand what I might be going through even at this stage. Thank you x

Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I can understand why you might be finding it a real struggle at the moment with your husband having recently been diagnosed with a colorectal tumour and you having investigations on your breasts but you've come to the right place for support.
I can see that you've already found and joined the breast cancer for the under-50s group and I'm sure if you post there you'll find plenty of support.
You might also like to join the bowel cancer group, where you can ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis to your husband, and also the carers only group, which is a safe and supportive place to share your worries and emotions with others who are looking after a loved one with cancer.
To join these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions in the same way as you posted here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about you and your husband's journeys 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.
If you need any help finding your way around the community just reply to this post.
