Hello, just joined and first post!
I'm 57 this month and have just been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Had early dcis in 2019, found by first mammogram at 50, which was successfully removed without further treatment and was supposed to have my last yearly mammogram when they found this.
Had 8 biopsies a couple of weeks ago and CT scan yesterday. Go back this Friday 7th Feb, for results of CT and treatment plan.
Pooping myself tbh!!
Hi Lisa M68,
Sorry you are going through this again. I can only imagine the anxiety. However you have been here before and you beat it before and will do again.
It is a worry but try to focus on the here and now. Pamper yourself distract yourself whilst waiting for results.
Once you have ghd results you will be able to focus on the treatments, one step at a time.
I wish you well, sending hugs
Hopefully someone who has a similar experience will be further down the line of their treatments and be able to reassure you xx
Hello, thank you for your message.
Its the not knowing, isn't it?
Brave face during the day as much as possible and then alone at night. Except for Teddy, my cockapoo!
I hope you're doing 'ok' and we get some sleep tonight! Xx
