Hi Wave 

Just joined 26th Feb.

My journey began at the end of December,  finding a lump, going to the Dr a week later...

After tests, my diagnosis was on 4th Feb.

I'm scheduled for a lumpectomy on 2nd March. 

I'm lucky, I found it very early.

Struggling with how much has happened, and not sleeping. 

My friends have been great, listening, but can't personally understand how things are - and how fatigued I am. 

  • Hi RosieMJW! I’m also new here and received my initial diagnosis last week - still waiting for results and treatment options. No words of wisdom but I understand how you’re struggling - it’s so much to take in. Sending hugs x

  • Hiya,

    I found the first bit particularly hard.

    Kept waking early thinking I'd had a bad dream - then realising it was real.

    Hoping i might sleep a bit better after the surgery is done. 

    Hugs back x

  • That’s pretty much my life right now - suddenly waking up in the early hours and realising this is actually happening. I hope all goes well with your surgery on Monday x
