Hi I'm 36 and just got diagnosed on Wednesday. My ultrasound and mammogram are normal but the cancer has shown up in biopsy results. The doctors were surprised and from the scans didn't think it would come back as anything concerning. They have said that it's treatable and curable which is amazing. The problem is I can't get my mind to rest I've got an MRI on Tuesday and will get the results on 15th April but I just can't stop thinking that given my scans look normal how can they know that I'll be ok. Every ache and pain that I feel I'm scared that it's something more sinister. Has anyone else been in the same position?

Hi Mac,

I’ve just turned 37 and was diagnosed in Feb. Had surgery last week and got to go back for more surgery in a couple weeks. I think with me, for my own sanity, I just put my faith in the doctors and have to always have the best case scenario in my head. With you, it sounds really really positive. It sounds like it’s small and they told me at my first appointment that it can sometimes be tricky to spot it on scans due to breast density when you’re younger, so please try not to worry. They wouldn’t tell you it was curable if there were any doubts either. They have so much experience in this area. Please try not to let it eat you up xxx

Thanks so much for your reply. Yeah I keep thinking surely they wouldn't say that if there was a possibility that it's worse than they think. I think it's just training me brain to think positive and trust them xx
