Hi. This time last week I had sore ribs, by Tuesday I had stage 4 BC. Feels like a month rather than 5 days. Results from biopsy will be this Thursday. I am terrified about what they'll say. And yes, I have spent too much time on Google 

  • Hi MicMcC

    Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you are facing a breast cancer diagnosis.  Unfortunately when we are faced with the possibility of a cancer diagnoses our minds tend to go into overdrive.  You're not alone in this. It may not be breast cancer and even if it is breast cancer is very treatable and they keep coming up with new treatments all the time.

    I was diagnosed just over 3 years ago with Triple Negative breast cancer and after having chemo, surgery and radiotherapy I made a full recovery.  Even since I was diagnosed they've come up with a couple of new treatments.

    Easy to say I know but try to stay off google, it is not your friend and the information on breast cancer is years out of date.  Rely on sites such as this one and Breast Cancer Now for your information.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your results on Thursday.

    Best wishes
