Wanting to make friends with other breast cancer members

Hi im new to all this am going thro breast cancer only hav two chemo treatments left then operation November time partner of 4years walked out "as apparently too much to cope with"  altho he toxic n a narcissist   so his loss not mine anyway id like to make new friends to chat to etc people who jus "get you" and understand so to speak thanks 

  • Do know anything about your lump the size or if it's in your lymph nodes? I have two in one breast ones a grade 2 and the other a grade 3 and have 3 lymph nodes involved too but nowhere else thankfully. Yes 5 down 11 do go... Roll on November! 

  • It's 18mm but there's another next to it which they didn't tell me till this week ! I caught my left breast in the door in May this year then bra wire was stuck in another part of this left breast so I was 100% this was down to that as my Nan said every bump causes a lump , thing is I'm ex Nhs and Marie curie carer so I'm the worst patient ever , I lost me bestie Jeanette two years ago in a tragic car crash aswell so it's been so tough and I'm thinking something sets this off but I'm so against medical intervention but now I must be strong mustn't I

  • Oh I'm so sorry you've had a rubbish couple of years haven't you. Do you think the stress and pain you went through loosing your best friend set off the cancer? I'm only asking as I had a really bad anxiety after having my son and 2 years ago went through hell after finding out my boyfriend of 10 years had slept with one of my friends and I honestly believe the stress of all this caused it as there's no cancer at all In my family I was told by my breast nurse that stress doesn't cause cancer but so

    much stress must do something to your body. You must be it's better then the alternative. Keep your head up you've got this xx

  • Well there's breast cancer in my family , my nan, aunt , mum and my lil sis five years ago we went to genetics aswell and they said no it's not genetic ( she's still going strong ) !!! But my dad also had it , but I do beleive that it just happens and who knows how or why , stress , trauma , pollution , additives , I'm in shock I have it though and yet I'm not I can't explain it really it's very common apparently breast cancer now more so than years ago but they seem to have amazing ways to treat it now , it's all so moved on and I beleive speaking to others make us stronger and more determined to overcome it all so you stay strong girlie and I will too
