I was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday and still a bit shell shocked still hasn’t hit home yet. Have to wait for one more result to find out where I go from here. Very scared and my stress has gone through the roof.
Sorry you have joined this club but you have come to the right place for friendly support from people that know exactly how you feel.
I am halfway through pre op Chemo and I can say waiting for test results etc at the beginning of this journey is one of the hardest parts. Once you have your results a proactive plan will be put in place quickly. I know once I started treatment I have learnt to take one day at a time and try to find the positive in each day. We live in a time with treatments and options available to us. I’m in the North of England and my team have been great. We will get through this storm. Xxx
Thanks harrigoose, just seems my brain is not reacting to this yet. And my head feels like it’s full of cotton wool. Suppose once I get final results and decide what to do next that’s when it will hit home,
It certainly is a an odd feeling of disbelief, I certainly didn’t feel ill and for the most part still don’t, even with Chemo side effects.
Try not to think too far ahead and please stay off Google! This journey is unique to you, and reading outdated information or journeys different from yours, in the state of mind you are you may concentrate on the less positive ones.
Be kind to yourself, it’s time to put you ahead other stuff for a while.
I totally know how your feeling I was shocked too when I found out I had breast cancer to me it was one of my worse fears in life , especially waiting for all the test and for all different kind of results to come back I couldn't sleep ! Once you know what the plan will be for you it feels as tho you can cope better , I have just had my 2nd round of chemo and counting down now ...there is a way forward I'm sure you will be find ...Good luck and take each day at a time pamper yourself ! Take time for you ....you can do this xx
