Breast cancer confirmed

Hi Jules022

I know it all seems like everything is out of our control when we are diagnosed with breast cancer - we aren’t ill and life is carrying on and then Boom ! We enter a completely different world , and I think most people would say the lack of control is really hard. What I would say is that a diagnosis is not a one time thing, and treatment plans can change all the way along - I had an invasive lump and then was doing to have extensive DCIS (calcifications) during surgery , not picked up on any scans- if you click on my name you will see my treatment plan and how my diagnosis panned out. 

It may seem like bad news but what you need to think is that the team treating you are wanting to give you the best possible outcome , and if that invokes more tests and checks , although it may seem like they are torturing you , they are just doing their job and making sure that happens.

The start of the process and the waiting are truly the very worst part , once you have your treatment plan you will honestly start to feel more in control and able to cope. 

Good luck with everythjng

That must have been a huge relief, thanks for the reassurance x

Thank you & I will check out your story xx

You're in shock with diagnosis n traumatised by various firsts, scans, medical jargon, feeling this is way massive than anything you experienced.

Firstly, it's OK not to feel OK crying is a release, I have had so many moments like u. Rber BC is so treatable.

Stay with the facts, otherwise you will feel everything exponentially, take a step at a time

You got this...rely on medical team n also us here for support n general info
