Hi I’m new and very scared I was diagnosed with breast cancer 14th May booked in for a CT scan 17th May I attended the clinic 21st May and told it was good news my other organs were clear, I saw my oncologist 11th June  and told they could treat me not to be scared, had my first chemo 15June, when I went to the clinic  3rd July my chemo was postponed because I had a superficial clot in my arm so I went back on the 8th July and told my bloods for my liver were high so had to have an MRI they told me 17th July it’s now in my liver that they will resume my chemo starting again 20th July after 3 sessions another CT will be done that they can’t really say yet what will happen, I have been left feeling like I’ve been handed a death sentence I’m so scarred I can’t stop crying I don’t understand how it was all clear to now it’s moved, I don’t want to die I just feel so helpless and don’t know what to do and now terrified it’s gone to another organ I just want to wake up from this nightmare now.

    Oh no you poor poor girl, I'm waiting on results from ct scan due to the fact it's in my lymph nodes before they decide what my treatment will be, I understand completely how you must be feeling but keep strong the things they can do today are amazing (that's what I keep telling myself) so keep your head up it's out of your hands for the time being and panicking will make you I'll you need to be strong now xx

  • Hi Jackspratt,

    I am sorry to hear your news. It is a shock to hear this in such a short time specially when things looked different at first. Lots of us get these sort of shocks along the way but afterwards we realise it may not be as bad as we thought initially. Please don't conclude you are going to die. I know when we hear bad news like this, we automatically think the worst. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Jan 21 and I have had shocks along the way. I had the same thoughts in my head but have learnt to be more positive and not to worry myself for something that is not certain. Please have faith and be positive and remember treatment options these days are good and work well.  Raf Xx
