Hi Everyone,
I recently had a breast cancer diagnosis following a routine mammogram.
I'm in shock, severely anxious and totally overwhelmed.
I can't stop thinking about it and am so worried I keep shaking all the time.
I have been reading the posts on here and find the brave ladies here a source of information and possible hope.
Can anyone give me some coping advice please?

Hi Poppys
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm glad to hear that you have been reading the posts on here and are finding them useful and are getting some hope from them,
I suggest that you start a journal if you haven't already and write about how you are feeling and how things are going. Try to get out in the fresh air every day and keep yourself busy doing the things you love.
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next for you,
Best wishes
