I went for my first breast screening in July then I received a letter a few weeks later to say the results were unclear. I was given a biopsy 2 weeks ago and was advised last Tuesday that I have early stage. I have been numb ever since. Does anyone feel the same?
Dear GeriB,
Welcome to the place none of us wanted to come to. Your feelings are natural, you will go through so much mental anguish in the coming days and weeks - your mind will be your worse enemy and friends that you thought were there for you will disappear...... now then, I've said some of the main parts - the things in life we didn't think about - oww you will be normal one minute then next you could be shouting and screaming or wanting to cry - all this natural - just remember 'you will get through this'!!
I went from not know where I was in life, best friend literally - said they probably have it wrong and that she'll be in touch when she has more time (4 years ago now)!!
Once you find out your treatment plan - you will get through this, the hard part is the waiting. I had never had an operation and thought all things ..... I don't want to tempt fate - but it was nothing, nothin like I imagined - honestly.
Now you have found this site, the people on here are truly amazing, the knowledge is incredible - and you are with friends now, friends that understand ..... and I truly think until someone has heard those words they will never understand how you truly feel.
I will paste in a thread called AWAKE - its were most of us go and chat in general and if you have any questions just go there and ask - the only condition is you have to be a Fruit Loop to join.
Look out for Mindful apps with mediation and relaxation - I'm not into this (not for the want of trying, just can't do it as will fall asleep). However, on the times when you feel overwhelmed (you will get this) they have some 1 and 2 minute breathing exercises that do seem to help.
Sorry going back to the AWAKE thread - just come along in, pull up a chair and know you are safe 
Sending love and hugs - remember 'we are here for you' xx
AWAKE thread.....
And as Grogg says, she's an annoying..... I mean errrr 
she's annoying her husband xxxx (only joking Grogg xxx)
WhatHappenedhaha. I'll annoy you now. I had a good night sleep. I went to bed at 8.30pm last night and after fussing for a bit dropped off quickly and slept till 7.30am this morning. Only trouble is I hate people talking to me in morning, especially asking questions so I may kill my hubby if he opens his mouth again
Hi GeriB and welcome to the club no one ever believes will be a part of..
I’m quite new here, I was called through the mammogram and diagnosed early stage too in the end of June and was shocked just hearing those words but since then had my surgery and all was taken out and I’m now waiting for radiotherapy and hormonal therapy and I know everything will be alright.
I think the initial shock is overwhelming and when you get in terms with it it’s the waiting for the actual results but once you have a treatment plan on board it gets more clear and manageable 
Sending love and a big hug x
