Breast cancer

Liv22
Offline

Hello, I am a 34 year old woman and was diagnosed with stage 1 grade 3 breast cancer a few days ago. I have an MRI tomorrow to determine how big the lump is and if it has spread. The scan says it is 1.7cm. 
the last few days have been a blur, I can’t focus, really negative thoughts, deep dark place. I understand every cancer is different but i am just petrified. If I need chemo, I will be devastated as I don’t want to lose my hair. I know that sounds vein but I’m a young woman. 
looking for people to chat with to boost my spirits. I have a great support network around me, but want to chat to others who have been through this. 

thank you xx

  • Hello Liv22

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's understandable that things might feel a little overwhelming at the moment, but it's great to know that you have a good support network around you. 

    I wanted to try to connect you up with another new member on the forum  who posted a few days ago to say that she has also been diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age. Hopefully, the two of you can chat and support each other as you move forward through this journey. 

    In the meantime, I wonder if you might find it helpful to chat with one of our team of nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch Liv22 and let us know how things progress over the next few days and weeks. Hopefully the team at the breast clinic will be able to give you some reassurance soon, and there is always a listening ear here available for you in the Cancer Chat community. 

    Sending my best wishes,
