Just been diagnosed and so scared

Hello.  It's such an awful time when diagnosed and then awaiting treatment plan.  Once you have plan you will feel calmer.  I'm 7 years diwn the line - click on my name to see my profile.  I took 5 months off work from biopsy to a few weeks after finishing radiotherapy.  I just needed that time to focus on me.  We all try to protect our children but it's ok for them to know parents get anxious and struggle too.  We are always here to listen too xx

Hiya SJT75,

Bless your heart, it is so scary when you're first given the news. No point telling you not to worry or be scared but knowing and once a treatment plan has been discussed with you, the fears allay a little bit. 

Try if you can to talk to a friend/relative who can help you tell your children - my friends amazed me when I finally told them and have been so supportive.

I discovered my lump in Jan this year, doesn't sound like the same thing as yours but nonetheless, I too have been on a long journey with complications along the way. Still a way to go but I'm getting there and you will too.

Keep us updated and in the meantime I'm sending you a gentle hug. Take care xx

I'm new to this forum and found it by chance, I to like you have been diagnosed in the last few days and my feelings are exactly the same as yours. I know we have to stay positive and focussed on what is coming but it is really hard and yes you just want to wake up from this horrible dream x

Hi just diagnosed yesterday. This is so strange from walking into app totally normal one day to joining here the next. Oh well guys here goes this is an amazing place to be so we can communicate and support each other it’s just so scary I think I am still in shock .

Hi SJT75

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The breast ache is probably from the mammogram. The waiting is hard I know but once you get your treatment plan things should start to feel better.

Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment when it starts.

Best wishes

Hi.  The waiting is truly hard.  You might not believe it now, but you will feel a little better when you have a plan in place.  
Best wishes.
