Hi, I'm new here. Recently diagnosed with Breast cancer IDC Hormone positive) Just had lumpectomy and sentinel node clearance yesterday. Feeling relief that treatment has now started, but worried about results in 2 weeks time. At the moment just expecting radiotherapy and tamoxifen, but need to wait and see. Finding it tough speaking to my husband - he just wants to support me, but not really wanting to talk through stuff. Friends are giving me space, but I just want to spend time with them. I'm also Autistic, so that's not helpful either. Good to meet you all 

  • Hi GrumpySarah

    Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer.  Your friends probably don't know how to react to your diagnosis so that's why no doubt they are giving you space.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your results.

    Best wishes

  • Hi there, sorry that you've been diagnosed, it is a difficult time and sometimes hard for people to know how to approach things, which will be challenging if you have autism I assume.  You might find it helpful to take a look at this chat group, maybe you can seek some advice from others with similar challenges.   Best wishes as you move through your treatment.
