Breast cancer

Welcome. I've had the same as you. Click my name to read my tale. It was a big shock to me too and its a lot to take in. Feel free to post any questions or worries. We've all been there even though we are all different x

Completely out of the blue for me too. Very swift diagnosis and surgery booked before I even understood what was happening. Keep posting here with any questions at all, loads of great folks here.

Hi, thanks for your reply, it’s nice to speak to someone who completely understands, I have good family and friends support but it’s not the same as talking to someone who has been there.x

Hi, yes all very quick…. Which has to be a good thing  just so overwhelmed, but I’m sure this will pass , thanks for your reply x

Hi Rita 

Isn't horrible when you get you diagnosis isn't it? It's good news that it's grade 2. We have lots of  cancer in our family so I suppose it's more difficult for you as this just comes out of the blue. It's good you have a date for surgery and very close now.  The early days are the worst. Hopefully after surgery you will be able to get back to normal life quickly. Look after yourself and try and keep positive it's difficult I know

Hi Jayne,  thanks for your reply, it’s really rubbish isn’t it , sorry to hear about you and your family.  Hopefully It will get better after surgery x 

Yes I'm sure it will get better , this is hard but you  will come to terms with it all. And this experience will change you a little If it hasn't already. But you will get through this dark tunnel the sun is just ahead. Just keep going and don't look back. It is what it is and you are now on board the train .  Which is carrying you forward and upwards X

Thanks Jayne for your positivity, I’ve always been a positive person but this has just floored me️I will stay positive and keep looking forward x

I have been through that very same hell so I know what it feels like. Just know it isn't permanent, you will get your head in the right place eventually. From this I learnt our mind is a very strong and at times it takes us to real dark places. But when you get unhelpful thoughts which bring you spiralling down the deepest darkest hole, try to turn that into a positive, be it having a chat with a friend, doing something you love, exercise or breathing techniques, long walks....this is just suggestions of the things that helped me feel lighter again...i was so stressed when I found out my diagnosis that my whole body ceased up in fear! Could not smile for days!

Trust in the medicine, doctors and loved ones to keep cheering you on! It's not easy...and I am glad you are here to find that support network (even though its a club no one wants to be a member of!)

Keep smiling and talking, we're here for u...sending big hugsss
