Hi there Christene and thank you for getting in touch
I am sorry to hear about your very recent diagnosis of breast cancer.
It is very usual to be feeling the way are right now and don't be surprised to go through a series of different emotions in the coming days or weeks, this is very normal.
I hope you have family and friends around you to support you through this time and navigate this with you.
Sit tight for now if you can until you have all the information from your doctor about what needs to happen next and to understand what this means for you.
Everyone's cancer is different in terms of the type, stage ( size and extent) and what treatment is needed and you need to hear this about yours from your doctor. Avoid googling other people's stories until you know the full facts about yours and the steps needed to give you the best possible outcome.
The outlook for all breast cancer patients has improved greatly over the past few decades and I am sure the team looking after you will only be wanting the best for you.
As I say take things a day at a time for now and look after yourself as best you can.
There is alot of support out there (and on here) for people with breast cancer so do ask for help and reach out for what you need along the way.
Hi there Christene and thanks for getting back in touch
Please try not to worry, it isn't unusual for samples to be sent for further testing. As I said yesterday, the doctors need to gather as much information as possible about your cancer to give you the best treatment.
I hope you know more soon but in the meantime do get back to us if you wish or give us a call on 0808 808 4040. We're here weekdays 9-5.
