Hi Dee Cov
Welcome to the forum I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'd sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's a bit of a rollercoaster at the beginning of a cancer diagnosis particularly with all the tests they do to come up with the best treatment plan for your type of breast cancer. Things should start to improve once you know what your treatment plan is.
Wishing you the best of luck with your biopsies next week and with whatever treatment plan your medical team comes up with,
Best wishes
