Hi, diagnosed with ductal and lobular breast cancer 2 weeks ago. Had to go for an MRI yesterday for better view of my cancer so still no treatment plan. Likely mastectomy and chemo though. Scared, stressed and flaming angry, still at the 'why me!' stage I guess!

Feel really isolated and alone despite much love and support from family and friends. 

What is this cancer gig all about.......

Anyhoos, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello!  :-) 

  • Hi,sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I am sure you'll get good support on here as there are many people in the same situation. For me, once I had the treatment plan, things became easier, I guess I knew what was happening then.  Good luck for the coming days and weeks as you progress

  • Hi. Sorry to hear your news. It's normal to deel shocked it took.me months to be able to cope with the c word. Even now 8 months into treatment I still feel in partial denial.

    Let your friends and family support you. You will get through this.

  • Hi, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. The waiting is really hard and it's perfectly normal to go through every possible emotion.

    I hope you get MRI results and treatment plan soon.

    Sending hugs Xx
