Dont know where to start

Hi Sarah82 

I am sorry you have been diagnosed with TNBC. I think people have a reflex response of telling you not to worry. Of course you are going to worry and it’s perfectly ok to do so. There’s also no obligation to put a positive face on it for the world. How you feel might help you cope with treatment but it’s not likely to change what your cancer does. This is one of those things you have to take one step at a time. Sometimes more information emerges and treatment plans change. Some days you will feel ok and others not. Find people who are going through something similar. I am not sure people truly understand the physical and mental toll of a cancer diagnosis unless they have been through it. 

Hi Sarah82 , just wanted to pop in to say welcome to the forum and also to echo the above, that it’s absolutely ok to not feel ok about a cancer diagnosis. I felt sick with fear at times, particularly in the build up to treatment and before appointments for results. For me, the fear of the unknown was the worst and it did seem ‘easier’ to cope once treatments started. 
I have found this forum a great place for support and shared experiences. Also Future Dreams in London, which has online sessions as well as in person, for anyone affected by breast cancer. Maggies Centres if there’s one near you, MacMillan also sometimes have centres at hospitals. I had supportive family and friends but found the best support from people who really ‘got it’ because they’d been through similar experiences themselves. I still go to an exercise class for people who’ve had cancer, nearly 8 years post diagnosis! Sending love and a big virtual hug, HFxx

Hi Sarah.

I think that people's default reaction is to tell you that you're going to be fine. 

I was diagnosed with triple negative myself earlier this year

Feel like having a total breakdown feel like no caring anymore about anything especially about myself and this cancer 

Hi Sarah82 

It might help to talk with someone about how you are feeling. Why not give our nurses a call on the number below?

Sorry to hear you are feeling so down Sarah.  As my college said give the helpline a ring, you will find them very understanding.

Sorry guys just taking this so hard that I think my depression is starting to kicking again just feel so helpless right now 

Please do get yourself some help Sarah82   Please talk to the nurses here, or contact your GP, or pop into the Macmillan centre at your hospital if there is one. As mentioned, Maggie’s centres and Future Dreams are excellent, if any is within range. 

Got the hospital today about when I start my treatment will say to them that im going through depression cos of this recent diagnoses 

Hi Sarah82 , hope you have more information about your treatment after your appointment today. 
Sorry that you are feeling like your depression is starting again, I hope the hospital were helpful. Please do seek help for this - many people here have had help from their GP for anxiety and/ or depression following a cancer diagnosis. It can feel so overwhelming. Love and hugs, HFxx
