I never thought I would start 2026 with 'I am new patient'...

I was recently, (last week), diagnosed with breast cancer at 39 years old. That was my first appointment with the breast surgeon and the assigned nurse. I was told that my cancer is 'curable' but at the same time looking at my pathology results it's classified as metastatic. I had CT and MRI on Tuesday and I am terrified that I will go from 'curable' to 'incurable' within the space of a week. 

I don't have a full treatment plan yet as we're waiting for my HER2 results, which originally came back as borderline. 

I am still processing everything that is happening and trying to stay positive but waiting for the answers/full diagnosis is really hard :(
