Just Diagnosed

Sorry you find yourself here. It’s a massive shock when you get your diagnosis. Don’t blame yourself for why this happened to you, it’s just one of those things, we all are a variety of ages, lifestyles, etc but yet here we all are in our random group. I hope you have good support around you but if you have worries or questions or just want to vent, there’s always someone here ready to listen xx

Hi Lelly

Sorry about your recent diagnosis. Many of us here will understand what you're going through. Following my diagnosis I could not find joy or eat/sleep...its all surreal and you wish so hard its just a dream you can wake up from or that someone has made a mistake, that is until I saw the scans. So now fast forward a month and a bit post many tests/scans...I am recovering from mastectomy. Still coming to terms with my loss. 

Take each day as it comes. Am at appointment now actually and popping in here does help with my anxiety, you do feel less alone. 

The ladies have been my strength and lifeline...and the experiences they share have been invaluable. 

Take it a step at a time. Let the experts help you. You won't feel in control of anything, but just keep to the facts and the anxiety / fears will hopefully be kept at bay. 

Once you know more, post here and someone will be able to guide you along. Am also oestrogen and Her2+ Dcis. Its pointless with the why me and what ifs. Sadly it is what it is...and we are in the same boat. Be kind to yourself

So sorry that you find yourself here. But you will have such support from this group. We are all in the same boat although different circumstances.  I had lumpectomy 7 years ago and masectomy April 2020. I live a normal life and have been positive throughout my diagnosis and treatment. I look different but am so glad my cancer was picked up on my mammograms. I am still me though.

Wishing you well and here if you need any support. I was estrogen + so didn't need chemo but on letrozole for 10 years.

Thank you, I’m Sure once it sinks in I will have plenty of questions. I’m fortunate that I have some good support, I work in a GP practices and all the GP’s/nurses and clerical staff have been great so far x

Thank you for your kind words and offer of support x

That’s good x

Thank you for your message, I’m sure you will hear from me now I’ve started this journey!!
