Breast cancer

I have only just been diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm so tired and lifeless. 

I haven't started treatment yet.

Has anyone else out there had this experience

  • Hi Maverick

    I was exactly the same as you when diagnosed on dec 30 2016. Getting through Christmas was really hard but kept myself busy. You have had a shock & your body is just reacting. I have had my op & am in middle of treatment and i really do feel like i have been in a bubble since dec. The tiredness is there all the time & I've always been really active. You have to go with the flow & one step at a time. Let us know what the results are & keep talking.

  • Hi, 

    I was diagnosed Thursday last week.

    I have primary, triple negitive breast cancer, or as I like to call it Stanley.

    I spend most of time feeling terrified or overwelmed.

    There us light at then end of the tunnel though, the lovely people on here give great advice.

    Chin up chick, we're in this together.

  • Hi

    thank you for your kind words.

    I have to wait another week for my complete diagnosis.

    I had a body scan today, the staff were extremely efficient, I was back home within an hour of my appointment.

    Tomorrows the bone scan, it's going to be a long appointment.

    I am overwhelmed by the support  I had had from people on this site I don't even know, and to think I only came  across it by chance.

    Rotten luck we are both in the same boat, but it's amazing we have been thrown together to give each support,

    At the moment I cannot see the wood for the trees.

    However today, I received my healing crystals which I bought on EBay, so tomorrow I'm starting the day with the usual meditation plus the crystals.

    As soon as I know any more about my diagnosis, I will post on the site.

    I would be interested to know what treatments in store for you.

    We both need to above all stay positive.

    Ive started a journal, I've written down  all the amazing things in life I love, just to remind me of what to focus on when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

    I already had a good diet but now I start the day with a smoothie, with raw green vege and berries, it's a quick fix to get the antioxidants out of the system as well as being nutritional and getting some of your five a day.

     

    Huggs from me to you,  reading between the lines I think we might need to kick each other up the backside now and again. 

    Regards Mavericks. xxx
