Hi
I was diagnosed about 12 week ago after being told I had the cysts there’s a fancy name begging with fib , but after my biopsy coming back I have three lumps in my left breast
My main one is gr2
I’ve had all the scans now
had my CT last night
they was just waiting to see if m other two lumps were the same cancer as my big one , I have been told I will need a Mastectomy and reconstruction
only just recieved a letter from my GP surgery today
my family and friends have been great but they don’t know what to do or say really , I don’t do much day to day now alls I do is worry and think , nights are the worst , I feel alone even I’m not I know , I can’t turn off from it at all I don’t feel myself even tho I put make up on I don’t feel at all me , I’m in a new relationship he understands but don’t see him much but I don’t really want sex altho I do miss him , I just feel like I want to stay in wear my pjs not let any one see me ,
thanks for reading
Hi Lefty87
I am one of the community champions on the breast cancer forums. I am sorry you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, are awaiting the results from biopsies and CT scan, and have been told you need a mastectomy. It’s a horrible shock to go through this and your reaction is very normal. You are going to want some time where you stay home in your pyjamas but hopefully you will soon be able to let your family, friends and partner in a little bit.
Everyone on here has been, or is going through the awful uncertainty that comes with diagnosis. It will get a bit easier over time. I hope you find lots of support here.
