Hello,

I have been diagnosed with oestrogen positive breast cancer. I will start chemotherapy after I have had all the staging scans. I feel nervous about the chemo and the results of the tests. I’m trying to distract myself but I am scared 

  • Hi, it's absolutely normal to be scared, I was terrified to begin with, but I certainly found once I had a clear treatment plan, things were easier.  Good luck

  • Hi kiele,

    Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but welcome to the group. The waiting is horrendous and it is perfectly normal to be scared. I hope you have people around that you can talk to and I hope you have firm dates and a treatment plan soon

    Hi there 

    I have oestrogen postive breast cancer too 
    I have just had my first chemo last week 

    I get how you feel , you Probally feel in limbo now and the not knowing dates/ plans will make you feel nervous.

    once you have a set treatment plan with dates and you know what’s gonna happen it should help you feel more in control
    good luck 

    have you got anyone to talk to ?

    sometimes just sharing how you feel helps .
