Hi Sonbeclee295b7b Am so sorry to read about your diagnosis. It is almost a year since I was diagnosed and I found it very tough at the beginning.
There are various ways to get support.
Have you been assigned a key worker / breast care nurse? If you have I recommend reaching out to them and explaining how you feel.
Depending on where you live, there may be access to a specialist centre (Maggie’s for example or Future Dreams if you are in/ near London).
You can also phone the Macmillan helpline - they are incredibly supportive and experienced.
This forum is also invaluable - full of fabulous people who have been through or are going through diagnosis. There is always somebody to give advice or ‘listen’ and send you a virtual hug.
Am so sorry you are feeling overwhelmed and it’s great that you have posted here. I would definitely contact your nurse or call the helpline x
