Hi I'm new here, diagnosed just over a week ago. Absolutely terrified. Can anyone give me any thoughts and tips on how to get through this. Need a pet/CT scan but I'm seriously claustrophobic. The thought of going in the machine terrifies me but know it's important but feel I just can't do it. Also I'm type 1 diabetic and feel I'm not getting enough support from the hospital or GP.s. Macmillan have been great but feel I need advice from people who have been through what I'm going through. There's no history of breast cancer in my family and I don't know anyone who's been through it. It's all hitting me now and I don't know how to cope. Keep bursting into tears when I'm alone. Have good support from my family but they don't know what I'm going through. How do I deal with panic attacks. Please help
