Hi, I’m new here

Hi 

No you are not odd it's such a shock I was diagnosed in June and still haven't cried ! I still don't quite believe it ! My advice is focus on your surgery now and be kind to yourself x

Hi I finished active treatment last July.  Despite the pain and the scars I’m still wondering if it was all a bad dream!

Hi Dawn70

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s not unusual to  be not sure how you feel when you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer.  

Best of luck with your decision.

Best wishes

Welcome Dawn70. I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It is quite normal not to cry at this stage. I didn't cry until weeks after my radiotherapy had finished. Once you receive the diagnosis you just go into a position of going from one hospital appointment to the next and through the treatment programmes provided. It is when the main treatment ends (I am still on hormone treatment) that you have time to stop and absorb what you have been through. You are no longer in the constant hands of the health professionals and that is when it can hit you and when you might find that you cry. But you are in the right place. Plenty of people here to support you through it.

Hi. I only got upset once and mad as it sounds  part of that was I thought I should be upset even thought I wasn't. Everyone is different. Do what is best for you. Its a tsunami of I formation at the start. Don't worry about decisions now. No matter how much info I had, I still felt it was a bit of a leap of faith.

The one certainty is that you will get valuable support and info from those who share your concerns and  those who are further on and can provide info from their experience.

Take care of yourself xx
