Newly diagnosed

Hi JulesMe and a very warm welcome to the online community

Lots of people describe being diagnosed with cancer as like being on a roller coaster that they can't get off and it's natural that your emotions are all over the place. Normally people feel more in control once they have a treatment plan but it seems that you have been left feeling more uneasy rather than less.

I had a different type of cancer so don't know if what is being proposed for you is normal or not but I spotted that your post hadn't had any replies and didn't want to just pass by without saying hello.

I'm hoping that since you posted this you've spoken to your BCNS to find out what will be happening on Monday and I wish you all the best.

Hi JulesMe and another warm welcome to the forum. I had different treatment but there are lots here who will have had similar experiences to you. I think there may be a bit of a blip with the site at the moment, as I don’t think that threads in this section (‘Emotional support and friendly chat’) are being seen by many folk as it doesn’t appear on the main page right now. It was being amalgamated with the ‘Chat’ section - won’t go into the details - but seems like people can still start new threads. 

Sorry! Long winded way of saying, could you bear to start a new thread in a different section: New here, Diagnosis and Treatment or Chat? These sections all appear on the Breast Cancer Forum page so I’m sure you’ll get responses from many others who’ve had mastectomies and chemo and changes in their treatment plans. You click on the big + icon and choose one of these sections. We are usually such a supportive group and I really want others to be able to respond to you.

In the meantime, sending love and a big virtual hug your way. HFxx

Hi, it's Steph from the Community team. I hope you don't mind me posting here, but just to confirm that I've now moved this post into this part of the group so it can be more easily seen.
