Ground Zero Today

Hello all, today I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm in shock! I'm 57 years old and live in Yorkshire. I will be seeing the surgeon next week but in the meantime I need to find a way to quiet my mind, does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks in advance. X x

  • Hi,

    I remember coming to this group with words exactly like yours. The fear and the waiting is awful. I'm 41 and was diagnosed in April, I've had chemo, surgery and feeling good and positive whilst I wait for my radiotherapy to start. Every body is different and every treatment is different too so my main advice would be don't panic about what you hear other people are going through and also don't google!! I set my mind in to overdrive with constant googling and it did me no favours. The treatment they have for breast cancer is amazing compared to what it used to be and they have found it and will sort it! Sending hugs and positive thoughts. Here if you need anything x
