Hello Sca28

I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. We've many ladies here who will understand how scary it can be and how things can feel like they are running away with you. I hope that some of them will reply to your post to share their experiences with you. 

It can often help to talk to someone at times like this and I'm sure that you might find it beneficial to chat things through with one of our team of nurses. I know they would be able to answer some of the questions you most likely have and give you some support and reassurance. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

Keep in touch Sca28 and let us know how you're doing. 

Best wishes,

Hi Sca28

Welcome to the forum. I’m new here as well so I’m also taking my time getting a hang of it. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but it’s good that they seem to have caught it early and that your surgery is sooner rather than later. It’s completely understandable that you are worried though and I agree that the extra time sometimes just gives you more time to think of the worst but hopefully being on here will help relieve some of that, if even just a little bit. I imagine there are more than a few people on here who can help if you have any questions or are looking for any advice.

Wishing you all the best!

Well here I am post surgery, still recovering feel very sore still especially in my armpit. Two week wait now for my results. Everything is done over the phone at the moment, it just seems so impersonal and lonely. I don't know what to do about returning to work yet , just wondering how others have coped .x
