the beginning of this

Hi, I was diagnosed yesterday with ductal breast cancer - can’t even believe that I’m writing on a page like this x 

It’s surreal isn’t it like it’s happening to someone else, I have found reading this forum really helpful, we are not alone x

I’m just so scared  

my left arm is also numb (side of the cancer) and I’ve got a really bad headache - assuming it’s all just the shock xx 

We are all scared at some point - keep using this forum. There is always someone who has what you have, or how you feel.

it really helps. Xx

Hi was told on the 30th I have invasive lobular breast cancer after finding a lump and attending the breast clinic on 16th November where they did a mammogram , ultrasound and biopsy. Due to being the type it is i had MRI yesterday to check if in other areas of breast/breasts. I am not back with consultant for results until next Friday and may even be looking at more biopsy. The wait is just so awful I just want to know what my treatment is going to be and how much is there. But I was told on 30th no treatment will start until the new year so I know I can still try and have as normal an Xmas with my family before any surgery etc commence. I am just so frightened about what us ahead of me. 

the waiting is the worst isn’t it - i have no idea when I will get the MRI results, all I know is they have their MDT every Wednesday, but I don’t know if my results will be ready then or not. It’s difficult because obviously to us it’s an emergency but to them this is work and they can look at it objectively in a way that we can’t. I hope you get the best results possible and a treatment plan worked out x
