Just Been diagnosed with Breast Cancer

Hi

Last thursday I was diagnosed with a small cancer in my right breast, which was removed - I really dont know how I feel - how should I feel - I have another operation towards the end of February -

  • Hi there and welcome to our lovely, friendly forum. I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and that you face more surgery in a few weeks time. Is this because the margins were not clear from the first op? As to not knowing how you feel you are probably still in shock at the moment but there is no right or wrong way to feel when faced with a cancer diagnosis, as all of us here know only too well. Once moment it feels so surreal it just can't be happening to you and the next you are whizzing from one appointment to another like one of those duracell bunnies on steroids. Just do whatever feels right for you is all I can say. I hope you have great support from family and friends and I am more than happy to help too if I can. I am sure others will also come along as well. Take care and look after yourself.  Sue x
