ive just been diagnosed with breast cancer and i feel as if my world is ending ,ive just lost my brother to cancer this year , my hole world has fallen apart,
Im sorry to hear of your diagnosis.It's such a horrible time for you right now.
I was diagnosed last December at 37 years old.I have 3 young children of 2,7 & 12.
I remember the day I was diagnosed like it was yesterday.Utter shock and disbelief.I felt like my world was ending too.
Treatments have improved so much you must try and remain positive and fight fight fight.Of course your going to be feeling terrible right now and it will take a few days or so for it to sink in and you may then start to think more clearly.
I found once I had my treatment plan in place I had a focus.I delthe with one day and one appointment at a time.
My last chemo was in may and I finished my radio in July.
I'm a few months on and my hair is growing back along with my strength and my self confidence.
I know this is a club no one wanted to join but we are all in this together and support each other.
I hope you get some comfort from talking to others here who understand.
So sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis. After losing my hubby aged 50 to lymphoma, diagnosis to death only a year, I too was where you are in May. I was devastated having to tell my only daughter I now had breast cancer. I was lucky, ad op to remove it & radiotherapy and now all clear. please keep positive, I know this is easier said than done, but they can do marvellous things these days as medicine is so advanced. Take care & keep chatting xxx
Hi. my name is LaShell and I am 56 years old, I am going through a scare of my own. I am postmenopausal and for the past year I have had several bouts with slight spotting, and just recently with slight pelvic pain. I have an ultrasound scheduled on the 1st of December. I am soooo scared and trying to deal with anxiety and panic attacks. I just want the fear to go away. My heart goes out to you. I have a friend that was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago, at this time she is cancer free, and her strength is back and she's feeling better than ever. Breast cancer treatment has come soooo far in this last decade, and I believe the 5 year survival rate for being cancer free after treatment is around 96% ! So you hang in there my friend, you got this ! I know you don't know me, but if you ever get scared or can't sleep and need someone to talk to, you just let me know. I know what it's like to feel all alone and afraid :( I will be here for you ! I hope to hear from you on how you are doing, and if don't, please remember to keep your faith in God, and that you can and will get through this ok :) Your friend, LaShell
I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I do understand, as I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October, I'm alone and have no family in this country, but i have one friend who's like my mum, and she's been by my side. We will get through this one day at a time, m frightened also, but trying to do it one day at a time. There is help and emotional support out there, although , for me, the hardest time, is at night , when you can't sleep, you're alone and thinking too much.
I pray for your strength to get through this.
If I can help at all or you need to talk, feel free to message. God bless.
