Hi Katie, 

I get what your feeling! I went for a routine three-yearly mammogram last Tuesday, here I am today, one week later having been told I have cancer! To say I'm shocked is an understatement! I had absolutely no symptoms, no lumps no dimpling, nothing. 

I consider myself a fit healthy 66 yr old, I'm devastated by the diagnosis but very hopeful that its been caught in time. I have an appointment with the surgeon (pre-op) next week.

I'm not on antidepressants but I too feel like I'm dreaming and keep asking myself how the hell can this be happening? I wish you everything of the best and really hope you have a speedy and full recovery
