Hi, diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday and really struggling. Just sitting here with tears streaming down my face and feeling totally overwhelmed. I am 39 with an 8 year old daughter and a 5 year old son who is on the autistic spectrum and incredibly demanding.
I have a small (11mm) lump, Her2 positive which means surgery and chemotherapy. They don't think its spread yet from ultrasound but having MRI and CT Scan next week. I'm terrified they will find something else. I feel like I have various aches. Also terrified about the fact it is Her2 positive.
I'm just sitting here sobbing. My life already felt unmanageable with the children. I am rushed off my feet all day. I even have to sleep with my son due to his bad anxiety. I just don't see how I will manage. I do have support. Husband who works a lot. 1 aunt close by and 2 aunts further afield who will help. But both children need me so much all the time. I just want to be able to look after them
