Newly diagnosed

Hi Rosey 12 so sorry to hear of further development I had mri and shadow on lung, which really panicked me, resulted in full body CT. Lung team monitoring shadow for now as think it’s benign. Try to keep positive whatever the outcome of the second biopsy your team will have a treatment plan. I’ve pushed my lung worry to the back of my mind, whilst I deal with the breast cancer otherwise it becomes overwhelming. Hope you get appointment soon

Thank you Mrsmagoo, I really appreciate that. Sending a big hug and positive vibes right back to you. How are you doing? I hope today feels like a good one for you ️

Yes it is rubbish and hard to be back to waiting all over again. Although I’ve been sleeping a bit better and have been able to talk about my diagnosis without bursting into tears all the time (I was at first!) I feel like the earth has shifted under me. It is almost like I’ve been transported into someone else’s life which is full of hospitals and appointments. I know I’m really lucky that until now I’ve never really had a serious health problem. I’d just begun to face up to this new reality, and now this to get my head round. 

I’m trying to use the waiting time to do positive self care things for myself. I’ve been eating good food, going for lots of walks, and doing positive affirmations. Yesterday I felt ready to see a couple of friends for the first time since my diagnosis. Just for a short time but it was really good and it helped to remind me that my old life - and my friends - haven’t gone away.

Hi Millsey, I’m so sorry to hear about the shadow on your lung and I completely recognise that panicky feeling being told unexpected news like that. That’s good news they are monitoring you closely and of course also that they think it’s benign. It is a shock for you though. 

I think that’s good advice to try and compartmentalise it and focus your energy on fighting the breast cancer. I am trying to do the same with this second lump. I know on a logical level that I can’t change the outcome or make the results happen any quicker by running through all the ‘what ifs’ in my head. So I’m trying not to. Easier said than done some times but that is what I’m trying to do anyway. 

Big hug to you and thank you for your reply. It really helps to know that others on here care. Xx️
