Hi all
just had my diagnosis of breast cancer and of lymph node too
im waiting for my mastectomy surgery and feel this is the worst time
how does everyone cope with this? Xx
The old cliche. One day at a time. You will get sucked into a cycle of treatment and it’ll just have its own momentum but the early stages, where you’re just waiting is surreal. I came on here, asked questions and ranted a bit. Mine was also in my nodes, I was told it was aggressive, I’m 5 years post treatment and living a normal life, sometimes finding it hard to remember some finer details. Just one day at a time. All the best x
