Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular cancer on 26th March after a routine mammogram and had a lumpectomy 2 days ago. Reading your positive posts has really helped me get through a scary month so I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences. As my ‘name’ suggests, I am truly thankful to my brilliant breast care team who found my cancer early and have looked after me every step of the way. To anyone newly diagnosed, I want you to know that you are in the safest hands and you can get through this. There was no bigger scaredy cat than me and, even though I know I still have a long slog in front of me, I’m telling myself that every time I’m poked and prodded, it’s a step closer to getting better. Keep going everyone and thank you so much again. I honestly don’t know what I’d have done without your reassuring messages xxx
