Newly diagnosed & Waiting on treatment plan

Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of weeks ago, I've had so many tests, examinations and in agony from biopsies and numerous mammagrams. I'm going in next week for treatment plan. Trying to stay positive but never felt so many emotions in one day. .. Scared, anxious and upset every single day since finding out. The fear of the unknown Is the worst. 

  • Hi Marie,  It definitely is better to know what's happening now and time to prepare for it too.

    Xmas will certainly be different this year but as you say new year new start. 

    Xx

  • Geez it's definitely a Christmas to remember this year No radiation on xmas and New Year's Day "hooray " my xmas song will be "Ho Ho  ho off to radiation I go" I'm all done with xmas shopping etc will do online food shop trying to make things easier for myself and I'm going to put my feet up and enjoy family time I hope you do too and get spoiled we so deserve it  xx

  • Yeah we're the same, we usually have a full house on Xmas day with both our families but this year we're just having a quiet chilled one just the 3 of us. 

    No stress just chill time. 

    Online shopping is the best, I've tried to get organised early so that it's out the way for surgery time. 

    We definetly deserve something nice from santa xx

  • Hi everyone, well I'm 3 weeks post lumpectomy and sentinel lymph gland biopsy and met with my consultant today and pleased to say that I don't need anymore surgery and all lymph glands biopsied were clear too. Appointment now next week with oncologist to discuss further treatment. Hopefully not chemo, definitely radiotherapy and then onto tamoxifen for ten years. Anyone with similar treatments I'd appreciate any info and advice? I had a lot of pain after surgery but it's definetly easing off now .

    Today's been a good day xx
