Diagnosed with breast cancer on Monday. There are 2 lumps. I’ve had x3 biopsy. CT scan yesterday. I delayed going to the doctors for a few months because I was so scared. Now I’m convinced I’m dying because I left it so late. I’m crying all the time.

  • Hi   

    I’m sorry you have to be here, but welcome!

    It’s easy to jump to worst case scenarios when diagnosed with breast cancer and being scared and tearful is only natural. The initial diagnosis and waiting for all the tests to be done is the hardest part. Most people will say that when you have a treatment plan and know what is happening and when you will feel better and more in control. x

  • Im sorry to hear this but your be fine you will get a team who will help you ask as many questions as you can we all think the worse so your not alone but they will give you all the treament you need to help you 

  • I just feel like I’ve let my family down by not getting investigated earlier. 

  • You haven’t let anyone down. You were scared and I’m sure many of us will have thought things like ‘why didn’t I go to the doctor sooner?’ or ‘how did I not notice before?’. The important thing is you have been checked. Sadly that has meant a diagnosis, but now it is known you have cancer a treatment plan can be put in place. Please don’t go down the rabbit hole of guilt or blame. x
