I’ve recently just found out I have breast cancer. I’m going to a one stop breast clinic tomorrow and don’t know what to expect. I’m nervous and scared. Does anyone know what to expect? Thank you.
Thank you for your response so sorry you had to go through this too. I’ve been told my cancer isn’t curable but can be managed. I’m devastated and not really took all this in just yet. I have my family around me it’s just really difficult hearing those words xx
I really am so sorry to hear this. You will experience all sorts of emotions over the next while. These will vary from anger, to fear, denial, "why me", etc. All of these are normal. It will take some time for your diagnosis to fully sink in. I am glad to hear that you have a good support network around you. I know that it is truly devastating to hear this news. This is not the end of the line. A number of people are living with manageable cancer these days. Life is too short to let cancer take over. The positive in all of this, is that it is still manageable. Your consultant wouldn't have told you this, unless s/he knew that it was. This is a time for making memories with your family, while you can.
Do you know what your treatment will consist of yet?
