Hello

I was yesterday and I can not cope what so ever :( x

Hi, sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  This part of tests and waiting is the worst.  Breast cancer has come a long way so take one day at a time and fill it with what you like to do.  Xx

Hi Bizkit and Lak95, I’m sorry about your diagnosis and felt the same myself 4 weeks ago.  But once you get your head around it, and have your treatment plan, it will get easier to deal with.  The waiting is the worse bit.  Try to keep yourself occupied and have positive thoughts.  I know it’s not easy, but it will get easier to cope.  The forum is full of great information and support.  I wish you both well with your treatment and recovery. X

Thank you so much , means a lot xx

So sorry you Bizkit and Lak95 find yourself here. We know how you’re feeling. It is so scary, a different world where you do not want to be.  Sending love to you both xx

A completely different world , I don’t recognise myself anymore already. Sending love and hugs back to you xxx

Hi, I am 2+ years on (click on my name to read my story) but those first few days are just the worst. My way if coping was to keep busy, to try and distract myself. It did get easier once I knew more detail and had a treatment plan I have to say.  Just find ways to be kind to yourself and cope as best you can and use this formula as there are lots of fabulous people on here to support.

Macmillan has a great support facility too, you can chat to the, online or call the. On 0800 800 0000 and the lovely team there will be happy to talk to you. Best wishes 

I am trying so hard to still do my daily jobs being a mum to my 2 beautiful daughters and you know trying to keep busy but I am finding it very difficult. The thinking about the next scan what else they will find ect is just making me panic constantly and it’s so hard to just forget even for a second :( this website does help so much though seeing all us strong women handling this xxx

I found the scans were the most frightening, but I had a long chat with a friend of mine who is a radiographer and he really reassured me a lot, about the chances of spread and the treatments available these days.  That being said, I was relieved to get them done and get the results. I hope you get through this phase of diagnosis quickly, that's the best we can ask for I think. Best wishes

Thank you so much xxx
