Hi I was diagnosed with stage 1 ductal breast cancer not sure if it's spread having surgery on the 30th December. I just can't process what is happening to me. All I want to do is sleep is that normal? I have lost 2 stone in weight which is making me worry that it's spread to somewhere else. I am going out of my mind worrying about this and I just need someone to talk to. I have very supportive family but I just can't express what I'm really feeling because I'm trying to be strong for my children.

Hi there

firstly stop panicking. You will make yourself ill. I am dispensing this advice as I was diagnosed in September and nearly killed myself with worry.

My experience tells me we are in good hands. The drs know what they are doing and do the best for us. This forum was the best thing ever for me. So much support.

Read my profile. I am 6 weeks post op now. Still can’t sleep, eat etc. But .... I’m here. I’ve made it further than I thought possible. I’m severely needle phobic so when they wanted to take my bloods I had a fit. Refused. Refused surgery treatment etc. Tried to run away!!! Then my husband said do this for our boys 6 & 11) no one else. And that got me thru. You have children you said? How old? Do it for them if you can’t handle it.

Take everything one step st a time. Hard. But do it. It’s for the best.

Message me anytime.

Chin up. You got this xxx
