Hello LizCar I think most of us feel shocked and sad but go easy on yourself. Take one day at a time. My way of dealing with it was to make it  my mission to spread the word about mammograms after 70 to everyone I know. My cancer was invasive and 9 cm.  Right up to the mastectomy I couldn’t feel it. Breast screening picked it up but I know ladies who don’t know they can ask for a mammogram when screening has finished. Hope your results are good. Keep in touch.

Hi LizCar

Welcome and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. There is no need to apologise for feeling sorry for yourself on here we all understand what you are going through and we’ve all felt that way from time to time.

Try keeping yourself busy and do the things that you love. And most of all be kind to yourself.

Wishing you the best of luck on Wednesday.

Best wishes

Daisy

Hi Lizcar, it's a scary time and ok to feel sorry for yourself.   I found keeping busy was the best thing for me, so I continue to work and I walk a lot. But we are all different.  Try and be kind to yourself x

Hi  I enjoy walking and cycling unfortunately I have to self isolate in this lovely weather. Normally I would have gone for a long walk or cycle ride today. Find it hard staying home.  I've cleaned the house and done the ironing.Thanks for the reply

Thank you for your reply.  Well done on spreading the word on mammograms.  I found the lump myself.  Funny enough my mammogram was due this year.  Perhaps they should make them twice a year, it may have been picked up earlier then. 

Thank you Daisy, Its good to be in touch with people who are going through the same thing.
