They keep saying I'm so brave, but I'm really scared..

Hi all, just really saying hello. Iam very new to all this and I also have never even joined a forum of any kind before.

Iam a 36 year old mum of 4. I have struggled in the past 2 years with my mental health and in oct last year had a operation for a slip disc on my l5-s1 lumbar spine, which had left me on crutches all summer before. Anyway long story short 3 weeks ago i went to the breast clinic after showing my gp a lump in my right breast. I thought it would be a quick ultrasound but a few of them, 2 mammograms and biospys later i left sore & worried. Week past and i got the results i knew but was dreading. They tell me its grade 3 aggressive and in 5 lymph nodes. I had a full body scan ct scan and results from that yestorday where good no futher than under arm lymphs. Apart from that yestorday i have been told it is estrogen negitive and pr positive. I have to wait till next thursday to see if im her2. Ive been told to expect a plan surgery/treatment then also. This has all happen so fast i swear i just blinked and missed the month of may! Does that make any sense lol i dunno... but anyway thats kinda sums up my last year, a bit *** but its making me stop and appreciate life a lot more. :) ps. Its ok not to be ok x

    thanks for listening when I’ve been down x
