Hi Bewitched, I’m so sorry you’ve been diagnosed with Breast Cancer it’s the worst news.
I was diagnosed a week ago I was in complete shock and been very up and down. 
I’ve had my CT scan yesterday and my Oncology appointment today, I do feel a bit better now I know what’s going to happen, I’ve got Chemo first then an operation followed by Radiotherapy looks like my first session will be in a week to 10 days. 
Please keep me posted how you get on with your treatment plan and appointments it’s good to talk to someone goof through the same emotions. 
Sending positive thoughts

• Hi Sasha, thanks for your response, sorry to hear your going through this as well. I'm glad you have the start of your treatment plan in place. When life throws you a curve ball I've found having a plan takes away a lot of the stress and worry. It gives you something to focus on. Hope the chemo goes ok. Please let me know how you get on. You're  a little in front of me. Keep strong and positive

Thank you so much Daisy53

That’s good. Hope it goes well for you and it’s not too long a wait 

Hi Bewitched and sorry you find yourself in this situation, but you have a great attitude towards it and that's a winner in itself. I had my mastectomy back in February, then tamoxifen and radiation, continuing with tamoxifen for the next 5 years. If I am honest I felt numb as far as my feelings were concerned up until May time, then I had emotions surprise me from all over the place. I wish you all the best with your treatment,  any questions regarding mastectomy just shout and if I can help I will xxxx
