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, 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
Thanks so much Irishgirl16. You're right, a treatment plan to focus on is hopefully on its way very soon!
Hi hope you're OK
I was diagnosed in March, still finding it hard,7 biopsies and an MRI ,I have one lump around 6 cm and also in lymph nodes.im scheduled to have surgery 16 th June, got to decide whether to have lumpectomy, mammoplasty, or mastectomy, hardest decision I've ever made
Got to have radiotherapy after,then possibly Chemo
