Just to say hi. Last Thursda
y, 23rd of March, I've received my biopsy results, which confirmed I had cancer. I will be treated in the Royal Marsden and my first appointment is next week. I'm scared.
Hi Guida
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's perfectly understandable that you are feeling scared, being told you have cancer is scary. Breast cancer is very treatable and once you have your treatment plan things should start to get better for you.
Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment when it starts.
Best wishes

I am new here I have also been diagnosed with breast cancer very scared
Hi, it is only natural that you are scared. Have faith in your care team. They will look after you well. Take one step at a time and don’t run ahead of yourself. Things will settle when you get a plan.
Hi Guida and everyone. I’m new in here. First post. Also just diagnosed. It’s scary for sure. I think the fear is mostly the unknown. How bad is it and what treatment will I need? I feel once I know more I will be better able to face it. I hear the RM is really good. Good luck.
Hi Guida.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2022. I was 33 years old. I have now completed all my treatment and have no signs of cancer anywhere.
my specialist has said to me there is no reason why I won’t live a long and healthy life from now on.
wishing you all the best in this challenging time
