New here and desperately need support please

Won’t be long now, I am a big baby when it comes to treatment but on the morning, when they drag you in at some ridiculously early hour, I was pretty calm. I think you will be too - and don’t forget they are all there to help and support you.xx

Thank you so much xx

Best of luck. As others say -even though it may be hard to believe right now- it gets better. I’m two months after diagnosis and tbh those first weeks were the hardest mentally lost about 10 pounds myself. You got a plan and are getting it treated and found it out at an early stage. Try to focus on that if you can. Hang in there ️

Thank you , yep I think I’ve lost 10lb already but if I’m ever stressed I lose my appetite.. I’m trying to eat when I feel I can .. yesterday was a bad day emotional but today has been slightly better .. although every morning when I wake up the realisation hits me so hard .. I long to be worried over trivial things again 

Hi Suzanne34, well got my results today. I'm cancer free. Chuffed to bits, I can relax now and heal. I'm so glad I didn't have to go for radiotherapy. I know it was drastic to have a masectomy even though it was only stage 1 but I wanted to make sure. After all it's only a lump of fat. I have to go for bone scan for tablets and have a mammogram every year. Would rather that than cancer. Please think positive and remember there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck. Please keep in touch x

If it’s any consolation, since my treatment finished I have joined the Olympic eating team. I lost 11kg during chemo but it’s coming back - just like the hair!!

I’m sooo pleased for you .. I’ve been thinking about you ever since and was wondering how you got on , so I’m pleased you’ve let me know … what fantastic news you must be so relieved.. x

I’m sure my appetite will return .. do normally love a bit of chocolate.. x

I was diagnosed on 15th December 2022, had to wait till 30th January to have my mastectomy  - it was the longest month ever! The waiting is the worst thing about it because you want the cancer out of your body. It does get easier to deal with as time goes on, once you have accepted the situation and can move on. I'm going to oncology appointment tomorrow to see if I need any further treatment....but whatever happens I just keep thinking "I'm alive! I'm going to live for a few more years yet!" Keep thinking positively  - you've got this!

Thank you .. I needed your message as having a really bad day .. week .. month .. but particularly bad today , I’m so up and down and lots of tears .. seeing the surgeon tomorrow so hopefully will get a date asap as it’s the day after day of waiting that feels like an eternity , good luck with your appointment tomorrow.. please let me know how you get on .. can I ask was it a single mastectomy you had ? and how did you find it all went ? I’m so nervous it’s unreal
