First post

Hi there, 

I am new here so please bear with me. 

I am 62 and have been diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer after a routine  mammogram. I'm having surgery to remove the lump and some lymph nodes very soon. Everything is happening so fast it just isn't sinking in yet. I am having to isolate now which doesn't help, too much time to think !

    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,
