Hi there
I was diagnosed with triple negative just over a week ago and my life has turned upside down. Compounding this is that I've been advised to self isolate until April 7th when I have a mastectomy, as my hubby is a key worker and can I say self isolating is jolly hard work. On reflection I know that I have no children at home so it could be heaps worse but I just feel sooo miserable and I now can't even have a hug from my very understanding and supportive hubby who tries to make me laugh every day. This sounds like such a whinge and whine and I'm really sorry but I feel so miserable and frightened and lonely.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
It's perfectly normal to feel as you do when you've had a cancer diagnosis and no one here will think that you're whinging.
I haven't had the same type of cancer as you but I wanted to take the opportunity of welcoming you. You could also join and post in the main breast cancer group as it's much busier than this one and there'll be far more people to share experiences with. If you'd like to do this then clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
I'm also self isolating as my husband is over 70 but at least I have him for company. We are still going out for an hours walk each morning as we're fortunate to live in the countryside so can achieve this without meeting other people for most of the way.
Now might be a good time to start a new hobby. I've been researching my family tree for some time and can easily absorb myself for hours doing this!
Wishing you all the best.
