I found out 2 weeks ago I had breast cancer came as quite a shock as the week before I had been told it just looked like I had knocked myself and the bruise had gone the wrong way. So off I tootled all by myself for the results of biopsys. What a shock I actually cried. After an MRI another lesion has been found so now I'm starting again with ultrasound and biopsys on this one. I thought I was handling it well until i had a panic attack whilst getting ready for work. I've been told it's a grade 3 invasive cancer and they will operate at the end of July. Not sure yet what they are going to do it all rides on this next biopsy. I'm edgy, nervous and if I'm honest down right terrified.

Sorry to read your post, I think many of us have been there with the first initial shock.. In my limited experience, the worst is the waiting. Once you have more news and a treatment plan it tends to become a little easier for most people. This website is great for support. Good luck x

I cried too at my very first appointment at the Breast Clinic. The BCN told me there was a high risk it was cancer. Two weeks later I go to see the consultant and can actually take someone with me but I'd got my head around it (sort of) by then and knew what she was going to say.

I'd have preferred someone at that first appointment to be honest. How I got home driving through the tears and snot I will never know.

Hi jacala I think that many of us felt the same on our first appointment I know I did plus they should tell you if you can bring someone with you for support for the next few appointment's ,I had to ask if I could bring my daughter along

Ah bless you x
