Negative thinking

Hi Springer mum,

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately negative thoughts are always there when first diagnosed and when in treatment.

However once you've had time to process your thoughts you can look more positively to the future when in treatment.

I was diagnosed May last year. Had lumpectomy and sentinels removed, chemotherapy, radiotherapy now on Letrozole.

I thought I was doing well then found another lump so the negative thoughts returned. However the outcome is good. Just been for another mammogram and ultrasound and it's just scar tissue. Thankfully. I'm not sure when if ever your thoughts return to being positive always.

However you've joined the forum after what seems like a lot of tests and uncertainty yourself. The forum is very supportive and lots of individuals will share their experiences also.

Make use if the macmillan nurses and cancer care also they are a great source if knowledge and support.

I wish you well in your treatment. Keep us updated. Sending hugs xx

Thank you Missymolly xx

Hi Springer mum.  So sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in August last year and it was a shock as I thought they were going to tell me I had arthritis.  I was told over the phone too which didn't make it any easier.  I am now on Exemastane as I had breast cancer twelve years ago and didn't really get on with Letrazole and have Ribociclib and Denosumab injections.  I have bone mets in pelvis, spine, ribs and skull.  My emotions are a roller coaster with being up and then down which I suppose is understandable.  I think in time it will get easier but it really is a lot to deal with.  There is a forum on here for Incurable cancer for patients only.  There are some real inspirational people on there and it has really helped me to talk to people in the same situation as myself.  Lets face it we are going to have negative thoughts as our world has been turned upside down.  I am trying to keep to normal routine and walk my dogs every day, although I have stopped working now.  I am here if you want to chat.  Take care.
