Hello , i was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in march !! I know  exactly how you feel , its just a terrible shock to the system. I cried till no tears left. I have had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy . The thing about stage1 cancer is that its early stage and treatable and cureable . Physically i am absolutely fine and cancer free. However I am not the most positive person , and my negativety is terrible. But i am getting better at accepting as time goes on !! You will feel so much better once you start the treatment  process - I did !! Keep me posted , and if you need anymore info , just let me know !! I will be thinking of you !!! 

Thank you Pattyanne, appreciate that. Me to full of negativity at the moment but trying each day...to be more positive. I keep racing ahead, what pain will I be in after operation, how will I cope, then side effects of tablets etc and carrying on working....just awful but taking one day at a time . 

Aww you are very welcome ! You sound exactly like me - always jumping ahead , and thinking tbe worst !! Honestly the lumpectomy was sooo easy - i had a lymph node removed too for testing but was all clear !! Home same day !  Cancer hadnt spread  outside breast -  only had patacetamol  !  Radiotherapy was easy too, and the staff are all trained to make you feel at ease ! I am on medication now for 5 yrs, and have been fine - was bit teary and low mood for few weeks but nothing to complain about !! The worst part for me was the waiting on results , horrible time as i am sure you know ! Take care and keep me posted  pat x

Thanks Pat, just had a call, pre-op and magseed 16th Aug and operation 30 August, it feels very real now....xxx

Aww great ! Not too long to wait - yes i had magseed too!  And had to have a blue dye on morning of surgery too. That good news , the sooner the better,  least you  have something to work on now !! Try not to worry - easier said than done I know !! Contact me anytime - we will probably do each other good !! Our cancers sound very similar - keep in touch pat x
