150 people a day diagnosed with breast cancer in U.K…I am 1

Hi KarenPP a warm welcome to the club that no one wants to join, but I'm glad you've found us. I'm one of the champions here in this group and it's a helpful place if you want some advice, to ask a question about the experiences of others or simply just to chat to people going through the same experience.

You might also be interested in knowing Macmillan runs a wonderful support line, on 0800 808 0000 if you ever need to chat something through with someone who has a bit more expertise.

I hope all goes well in getting a clear treatment plan underway soon, best wishes 

Hi I had a mammogram on the 28 st February and they called me back to go to an assessment clinic where they did a biopsy they found a 5 mm lump deep in fatty tissue  that was on the 21st march I've been suffering ever since I've had this cough that won't go away my stats are fine 98 percent but I am so worried and scared I'm going to see the Dr today I feel I'm actually losing my mind I actually need help 

Thank you! I have already had comfort from the booklets and forums that MacMillan provide. Makes us feel less alone so thank you! 

Please let me know how you got on and sure what we are both feeling is very normal. Strength in sharing I think 

Hi Karen your right it is such a shock and the waiting for results or wondering what the next step will be is so stressful, but somehow don't ask me how, but we get through it. I can only speak about my own experience, diagnosis came out of the blue, picked up at routine mamogram in Oct, since then it's been pretty hectic but I'm on my final session of radiotherapy and feeling so so grateful, I couldn't gave imagined being so positive 6 months ago x The Mcmillian help line is so supportive, they really helped  when I had a bit if a wobble x
