Hi - newly diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma

Hi all, I’ve recently been diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma and am struggling to know how to feel and cope

  • Hi Tessyl, 

    A warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with ductal carcinoma and it's normal to be feeling a little bit lost after a recent diagnosis and to struggle to know how to feel or cope. It might be useful to read the information we have on our website on coping with cancer and I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and sometimes talking to others on the forum who have had a similar diagnosis in the past can help and I hope that you will connect with others on here who have had a similar diagnosis.

    If you type the keywords 'ductal carcinoma' in our forum search which is at the top of the page, you will find past threads from members who have had the same diagnosis and feel free to respond to anyone you would like to connect with. 

    We also have a free nurse helpline you can call on 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to give them a call if there is anything you need to talk through with them.

    I hope that you feel better soon and we are always here for you anytime you need to talk.

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
