Hi im new to the group and wanyed to say hello. I was diagnosed with grade 1 breadt cancer I'm 60 years old. I don't know how to feel or what to think it's all so confusing.ive only cried once and just feel numb. Is this normal?
Hi Jacksv I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I think the way you are feeling is completely normal and understandable, you will be in shock. As time goes on and you get your treatment plan it does get easier to deal with. I was diagnosed with stage 3, grade 2 breast cancer and had lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy and then tamoxifen. I was 47 and didn't cry until 2 years after treatment. It is very confusing in the beginning with all the terms etc. Maybe you could phone the helpline on here tomorrow or ask your breast care nurse to talk you through everything. I am also on here if you want to chat.
