Pain in chest area

So worrying when you have a diagnosis you really don’t want and we then put ourselves through hell with thoughts of all sorts. I have been diagnosed recently but mine is grade 1. I have just undergone the lymph node removal op yesterday and it was much better experience that I imagined . Please speak with your cancer nurse as soon as you can and gain reassurance this might out your mind at rest as I was convinced the cancer had spread to my li oh nodes following biopsy due to pain experienced under one arm following this. After chatting to my nurse I found it was a normal reaction  filling biopsy which out my mind to rest quickly.  I am sorry I can’t help answer your questions as have a different for. Of BC but I’m sure there are others her with similar diagnosis, but please speak to your nurse. Wishing you best luck in your treatments moving forward . Big hugs x

Thank you, seems to have subsided my ex partner helped me to relax as couldnt sleep, rubbed back etc, even though I have seemed OK maybe my body was feeling the anxiety even though I seemed OK in myself x

So glad your finding ways techniques to help you . Anxiety goes through the room following diagnosis and we convince ourselves of all sorts which is a normal reaction. I worked myself up terribly before my first procedure and I was scared to death. Once I went through it I realised it wa nowhere near as bad as I had imagined and now my anxiety levels have completely dropped. Keep taking about it particularly with others going through it and those that have gone through it years ago remember the treatments have now changed and experiences will likely be very different. My mum died of BC many states ago when she was 32 years old. I have spend my entire life convinced I too was going to die of BC. I was partly right yes I did get cancer but I’m not going to die from it as science has now advanced so much and it advances so quickly that continually treatment and approaches to BC are changing constantly. You will be fine I am sure. We are all here to support you and share your anxieties and worries so your not alone going through this journey. Big hug, not tight hug ( they hurt lol)

I felt fine about it I guess in my head the rest of my body obviously didn't, the nurses agreed just my body feeling the anxiety, its been fine since I started treatment today, one cycle down and also tried the cold cap and managed that, so far I feel OK apart from tired from virtually no sleep last night .

Good luck with your treatments and also sending hugs x

• I found out I’m triple negative in one breast. If it’s in my lymph nodes my treatment plan will likely change . Gonna feel like a long wait for  results following the biopsies taken yesterday. Praying it’s not in my nodes tbh . 

The waiting is the worst part, fingers crossed for you x
