Hi I've just been diagnosed (on Thursday) with invasive hormone receptor breast cancer after a mammogram recall and biopsy. I'm from the UK but Germany is now my home so still in shock and having to deal with it all in a foreign language. Just wanted to reach out to an English speaking community.
Sorry you have to be here, but welcome!
It’s such a shock receiving a breast cancer diagnosis but can be so helpful to chat with others who have been through it so it’s great you have reached out.
I was diagnosed last year with ER+ ductal cancer and had a lumpectomy, radiotherapy and now taking tamoxifen for five years. The hardest part is waiting for the treatment plan and when there are still unknowns, it really does get easier when you know what is happening and when. x
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
