I’ve recently been told I have breast cancer, 2 weeks ago. I’m so emotional and finding it hard to switch off, everything seems 1000 times bigger and worse and I can’t stop crying. Finding it hard to be normal right now. 

  • Don’t worry, my dear everything will be fine. I had breast surgery chemotherapy radiation now I am okay don’t worry don’t cry

  • Thank you, I’m not normally emotional at all but all I do is cry. I’ve got 2 children and I’m trying my best to hold it together for them. Heart

  • I have two children as well,

  • It’s lovely to hear you got through this. Any advice as I just have a dark cloud over me right now? X 

  • Hi Zoe 

    I know how you’re feeling it’s terrifying the not knowing what’s going to happen . I had triple neg in March 23 had lumpectomy , chemo and radio . I thought I was going to die !! After reading  stuff on the net !! Bad idea) anyway I’ve got through it all and it’s hard at times but except support from who every is willing to give it . You have got this PunchGood luck with you journey x

  • Thank you, it’s been the hardest 2 weeks of my life. I just hope this gets easier x 

  • Don’t worry at all. Everything will be fine. You just need to stay strong and be firm. Think about your children and remind yourself that nothing is wrong and no illness can defeat you.

  • Once you know the plan you will feel a lot calmer !! The waiting nearly killed me I couldn’t eat , sleep .once I had the date for surgery I felt better !! I was upset when I found out it was triple neg because I had read a lot but it’s all out of date on the net . But then I forcused on the next step which was chemo and whilst it’s not nice you will be amazed how you cope . You will find an inner strength and fight this horrible disease. How old are you’re kids ? 

  • I have an appointment tomorrow to discuss my op which is planned for next Friday. It’s all moving really quick which is also hard to take in. My sons 16 and my daughter will be 11 on Christmas Eve x 

  • Well it’s good you have  a surgery date and it will soon be done . Be honest with your kids as they will know you’re not right but don’t frighten them . Be positive you will be ok and get through this . X
