  • try to breathe, life is a roller coaster at the moment, but we need to find time to breathe hugs.

    don’t try to cross any bridges until you have to, there is a plan and it will happen when itdoes, trying to finish before we start puts stress on ourselves hugs

  • Thank you. I think its the not knowing treatment plan and the waiting

  • Hi Virgo

    Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer.  It's perfectly understandable that you are feeling overwhelmed as life is a roller coaster once you have been diagnosed with all the pre-treatment tests you have to undergo so your medical team can give you the best possible treatment.  It's good though that things have moved so swiftly.  Once you have your treatment plan things should start to get better for you.

    Best of luck with your operation in the new year and with whatever further treatment your medical come up with.

    Best wishes
