Good.morning. all don't know where to start, other than everything got turned upside down on Monday with an incidental find on a mamagram.. had uss then biopsy, and looks like 8mm cancer! Can't stop crying! Don't know who to tell yet. My husband knows, but I have 2 amazing grown up sons, one of which is expecting his 1st child in 6 weeks. This would coincide with surgery that I have been told I'll need.  I am completely lost! Biopsy results I'm 2 weeks. Longest weeks of my life!

    Hello , 

    This is the second time I have written today and I have only just found this forum .

    I wrote this morning under the title ‘I’m still standing ‘. My first breast cancer was 9cm by 9cm ..in the end they didn’t  operate at all ..as too big and I was treated with chemotherapy ( you do get through it ) radiotherapy and 9 years of Tamoxifen . That was 34 years ago ., I am so sorry . You are in such shock ..but please believe that this can be treated and you will get through it .. ‘one day at a time ‘. Sending you so much strength and love .

    Ps the wait is horrible and as such may not of course be cancer .. many are benign and I feel so sad you have this wait . 
    keep strong and hold on to belief and IF needs treatment then that is there for you .
