i have just been told i have breast cancer. so scared
Thank you for this, these comments help a lot. This is what my letter said and i dont know how bad it is.
mammogram showed a 15mm ill-defined mass in the left upper inner quadrant areolar position, 40mm from the nipple.
Mine was Ductal & invasive 22mm . All very postive from my MDT team . I couldn't comment medically on your letter as I am not trained . I will say so much that can be done these days and so many positive journeys on here including my own and a family member. Although the unknown is very scary ,once you know the treatment path a weight is lifted. Stay positive and keep in touch xxx
mine is invasive ductal 13mm, grade 3, eastrogen and prgestorone receptor pos, her2 neg. Stage 1. Need a lumpectomy but have asked for breast reduction at same time. had to have diazapn before i went

Ah that's good. Have they agreed ? I was under team for breast reduction before my screening and diagnosis but my trust won't combine the two ! At least you won't have to have two surgeries now. Good luck with everything xx
oh no, that means i prob wont get it either, the cancer nurse said she will put it in the letter but she didnt think they would. This diagnosis has forced me to open up about my anxiety, how are you coping?
Not necessarily different trusts have different funding etc. I'm ok. I have had wobbles. Initially shock as it was a call back from routine screening. Still wouldn't have known day I had surgery . Consultant couldn't feel it either so I suppose screening was a blessing ! I had some tears and worries of what will happen . I managed to keep my self busy with work and philosophy in life is no point worrying over what I can't change and what will be will be. I took advise from my medical team. Eat healthy but I'm quite healthy anyway . Ive continued with my exercise and gym. For me it's good for mental health and frame of mind and very generally I've stayed positive .I feel if I didn't it would very easy for my mind to runaway with me and I would probably make myself poorly . So I've kept things as normal as possible. I've talked about it and organised a wear it pink day in work raising 400 pounds. That I feel allowed others to not feel uncomfortable around me. People tread a little on eggshells because they don't know what to say. Id just offer in support to you and say you do you !! If your anxious talk about it ,it can only be a good thing that your opening up to people .And it's ok to be scared and worried about the unknown . Sending hugs xxx keep talking xx
Thank you for that x i am a very anxious person but i am really trying to be strong x
