Breast cancer & 5 months pregnant

Hi everyone. I'm Jules 33 and I was told on Thursday that I have breast cancer while also being 5 months pregnant. I'm half way through my tests and have got to go back and have another biopsy on the other breast on Thursday (they don't tell u how painful they are! Lol). I've had confirmation that my little boy is perfectly fine inside me which is great news. I'm just struggling to get my head around other matters like how other people deal with it, for example my mum died of bowl cancer and my granny did have breast cancer but survived anyhow I've obviously levitated towards my sister as she understands however my fella of 2 years has kicked off saying that he's breaking up with me as I'm not being loyal to him! Surely it's what I want as I'm the one dealing with the cancer and not him??

    Hello Jules2734,

    First of all congratulations on your pregnancy - we are pleased to hear your little boy is doing well. Is he kicking already too? So sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with breast cancer while being pregnant. It must be very stressful for you to have to think about that while also having to focus on your pregnancy.

    We have some very useful information specifically on breast cancer during pregnancy which you can read here.

    We have many members on our forum who have breast cancer so I hope they will be along soon to chat to you. Our nurses are also just a free phone call away on 0808 800 4040 - you can reach them Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm

    A big welcome to our friendly forum,

    Hi there, I can't imagine what this must be like for you. Finding out you have cancer and also having this new life growing inside of you. So your fella is breaking up with you as you're not being loyal to him??? In what way? You need strong, kind people you can rely on around you, not the type that will run first sign of trouble. Not wanting to sound nasty but it seems a bit like emotional blackmail.
