Newly diagnosed and shell shocked!

Hello,

Just introducing myself and sharing my story. I suppose it’s similar to lots of you.

Yesterday I was diagnosed with breast cancer after I was called to have a second assessment  after a routine screening.

After the mammograms and examination I was expecting him to say I had a cyst, as I’ve had loads before, so when he said it wasn’t a cyst but a tumour it was a big ‘what?!’ I didn’t say that, I was just a bit numb emotion-wise and I’m still finding it hard to process.

I have to wait 2 weeks for the histology results and I can’t get it out of my mind. 

 I lost my husband of 48 years earlier this year and now this.
