Hi Nonitodi
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s perfectly understandable that you are frightened but it sounds like they have caught it early which is good.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago and after having chemo, surgery and radiotherapy I am now cancer free. I know it seems like it now and it’s easy for me to say but you will get through it. Once you know what your treatment plan is things should start to get easier. Your medical team will do everything in their power to make sure you get better. There’s an awake thread on this forum that you can look at and contribute to, everyone’s welcome to join the thread if you are having problems sleeping. It’s just called Awake.
Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment.
Best wishes
