Diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and feeling so low

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer stage2 I feel so low and cry in private. I am trying to stay positive for my two boys /men as they are both in there twenties and still  at home. I have been  told I will be  having surgery, I just feel like I am playing  the waiting game.

  • I hear you and I’m in the same boat. Diagnosed 13th March. MRI 17th won’t get results until 1st April. I also need surgery. I don’t understand the wait in between. I have invasive lobular carcinoma estimated stage 1-2 but not confirmed for sure yet. All the while this thing is growing inside me. How are you coping lovely? 

  • I'm trying very hard not to keep  breaking down  i have been  told my surgery is provisionally  booked for the 13th April just playing the waiting  game, I am still  working  fulltime and people  around me are not aware of my cancer it is very hard 

  • I am trying to hold it together  daily, I work  full-time  nobody knows I have been  told 13th April I tooam scared that the cancer is growing.  Just waiting  for more tests I am so  tired , tired of being strong.

  • Hi again, I also work full time but I’ve taken sick leave. My HRT has been stopped and I have had side effects from stopping it. This is my personal opinion but a problem shared is a problem halved you need to confide in someone and share your news. It will help you. This is a lot to take on yourself and you will need support with whatever is coming up. Stay as positive as you can. You will have a breast care names nurse , can you speak to her? Sometimes someone outside of family can put things in perspective. Let me know how you get on and look after you.
