Hi Kat. I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  The waiting and unknown is terrible. I'm exactly the same. Diagnosed with a 4cm grade 1 breast cancer on 19th April after finding the lump (im only 39) I had my MRI the week before last and my mammogram on Wednesday. So I'm just waiting to get the results. They've booked me in to see the consultant on 7 June which seems like an unreasonable time to wait. Surely the results should be quicker than that. 

The unknown is horrid. I'm petrified it's spread. My own mum died from metastatic bc in 2019 but she was 71 when she died. I have 2 small girls and I'm  not ready to thrown in the towel yet. I'm trying to keep myself busy and distracted to take my mind off the waiting. X

Hello lovely 

welcome to the chat I had breast cancer in July 2022 at the start it’s a massive shock , but time passes quickly I’m sure you will fly through it , you can’t change it so my advice is big girl pants on fight it and you will come out at the end of it smiling when it’s all done .

I like you at the start felt every ache every spot I thought it’s the cancer spread ect it’s natural to think that way but take one day at a time one appointment at a time you are in safe hands breast cancer isn’t what it was years ago it’s amazing what they do now .

im hete to chat or help if I can xx love Lara xx
