Hi everyone 

I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive breast cancer in Tuesday and had 4 more biopsies on my lymph nodes .

On Wednesday as I wasn't feeling well I did a covid test and it came back positive .

I could do with some advice on how to cope It seems when I need people the most I have to isolate myself .. 

I've been told I will get a treatment plan but it will be after Christmas and it's the waiting that is the horrible part 

Thank you for taking the time to read this 

  • You could definitely do without that. I too have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, had to have second lymph node biopsy today as first one was inconclusive. Already know that I have HER2 positive cancer, start chemo in the New Year. I had a mastectomy 5 years ago on my other breast but didn't need chemo on that occasion. Life is very difficult at the moment but we have to plow on and take one step at a time. If you can't meet friends, chat to them virtually and keep yourself as busy as you can. Take care. Chin up.

  • Hi /Geordie1619

    Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and that you have covid.  Try to keep yourself busy to help take your mind off things.  The waiting for treatment is horrible but things should start to feel better once you know what your treatment plan is.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment once it starts.

    Best wishes
