Well this certainly was not in the plan

Morning. I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago. Found my lump 3 weeks ago.  Had my MRI but need to have another. Then lumpectomy within a couple of weeks and radiotherapy in January. My general demeanour is positive and happy but then sometimes I just have a mini meltdown. The daftest things set me off. I made some cupcakes to raise funds and they were so pretty that I just sobbed. I think I just thought and realised that the cakes were to benefit those exactly like me. Also I was in M&S and saw some mastectomy bras in the sale and I just felt really sad. Sobbed like a baby and had to go into the loos to control myself. So being up and down is perfectly normal. Hope this brought a smile to your face!!

Hey Tricks 0.1

I was diagnosed about 4 weeks ago and it is an emotional rollercoaster for sure.   What I feel weird is because I'm not aching or in pain and feel 100% fine physically, its almost like a mind game that is this really happening because I feel fine, and then it'll hit me all of a sudden that omg I have BC what the hell! My melt down was over the fact we're meant to be planning my wedding but instead of discussing wedding dates we're discussing chemo dates.

I think everyone's reactions and ways to deal with this is very individual and there is no 'not normal' way to react! The only advice I can give is let yourself do what it needs to do and don't stifle your emotions. Obviously positively is great and will keep us going,  but we all need a good cry sometimes! 

I am sorry you’ve been diagnosed too. I got the news a month ago and just had the appt with my surgeon. The last month of waiting has been dreadful, complicated by both of our Dads facing end of life cancer challenges. I’ve been very tearful at times, with coming off of HRT making me feel like everything is the end of the world. I would say the plan and date for surgery has really helped. I’ve had to take days off of work and I haven’t been sleeping well. This news is traumatic for all of us and reacting to that emotionally is absolutely understandable. Take good care of you xx

Hi Dizzylizzy 

thanks for the reply it means a lot to hear from people in a similar situation. Your comments did make me laugh as I totally get your breakdowns at random things.

Hi Poorbooby

Thanks for the reply. I’m the same I still feel fit and health and still continue with my running etc. Stay strong and positive and it won’t be long and you will be back to planning those wedding dates again.

Hi Sarahbear

thanks for taking the time to respond as I know it’s not easy when you have so much going on . I’m glad you know have dates to focus on and a plan in place as you said this always helps. 
Sending love too you and all your family.
