Hi not really sure right now just got my diagnosis yesterday following my results I have confirmed breast cancer luckily they said they caught it really early but I think when the consultant spoke i just went into adrenaline mode, no crying no nothin just askin if I can keep workin don’t think it sunk in. Is this normal ? Thank u for letting me share on here as the morning after my head all over the place. 

  • Hi  

    Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I was exactly like this when I heard the news back in November. The first thing I said was "But I'm starting a new job on Monday..." And yeah I went into business mode for the next week and a half, then had a spontaneous meltdown where I cried solidly for about four hours!

    I wouldn't worry about whether how you feel or react is normal as there really is no right or wrong way. There's only really your way. Take care of yourself and if you have any questions I might be able to help with, feel free to fire away. x

  • I was exactly the same just said oh well what happens next. I had lumpectomy July 25, radiotherapy September 25 and don’t know if it’s “ normal” but I just carried on as if nothing was happening. People round me would get upset and I just kept saying worrying won’t change outcome. Everyone deals with things in their own way. Take care

  • Thanks for replying probably will have questions as the week goes on and when I next see the surgeon again have a lovely weekend x
