Looking for some positivity

I'm sorry to read that you have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'll start with the positivity first as I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2022, had a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and then radiotherapy. Had my first mammogram in April 2023 and all clear so far 

As for how I managed while I was going through this, well I just tried to carry on as normal as I was determined that having cancer wasn't going to change my life. So I still met up with friends, had little trips away when I felt up to it and generally did things that I enjoyed.

As the online community is divided into different support forums, I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the breast cancer forum as you'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer and where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support.

To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment plan into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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.
