Hi i have just been diagnosed with breast cancer got bloods and MRI scan on Tuesday then results and treatment plan on the 30th December i have been struggling emotionally and trying to keep brave for my family anyone else in the same situation x
sorry to hear of your diagnosis, . I too have recently been diagnosed, found out in November. You will have up days and down ones, and it's very hard isn't it like a rollercoaster. I have surgery scheduled in January and they have told me I have to have radiotherapy. I found the waiting for the results the worse and seem to be coping a bit better now I know and have a date to work towards. want to push Christmas out of the way and get to January now
its ok to get emotional why wouldn't you. Let it out even if it's on your own. Don't bottle it up, sometimes it's good to speak to a stranger.
Like you i have just been diagnosed and have my operation booked for 5 January.
One thing i have found that helps me is I have bought a notebook and record exactly how I feel. The book is for me and me alone so it doesn't matter if I write down negative things about what is happening or some of the unthinking things people say. Not saying it will work for everyone but it seems to be working for me.
Like others, I just want Christmas over, but I have grandchildren that need to see me enjoying time with them. I will put on the brave face and maybe cry when I get home.
Good luck to everyone and I hope that all outcomes are positive.
Hi i am having a MRI breast scan tmrw i am so anxious at the thought i get results on the 30th so my treatment can be sorted, it was mentioned probably chemo then surgery ...i wouldn't wish this situation on my worst enemy but got to keep smiling and think positive xxxx
I have just had the breast MRI scan and it was better than expected fingers crossed it hasn't shown more problems up so after mammograms ultrasounds and MRI scan surely i can get a treatment plan next week xx
Hi i was in the same situation ....i had all my scans done should have got my results and treatment plan on the 30th December i got a call the day before cancelling as being over christmas everything was delayed finally got them on the 6th so started hormone tablet treatment last Saturday.....i literally cried buckets after the cancellation call as mentally draining but people did say to me like i am saying to you it is the hardest time and you will get through it like me ....also i dreaded the thought of the MRI scan but it was far easier than i expected i just took deep breaths and it soon was over i have decided everything is mind over matter and i am just thinking positive with every step.
sending you lots of love and luck on your journey xxxx
Sorry to meet you on here, This is the worst you will feel, although the MRI will be a worry it's good that things are moving along, have they said what BC you have? Once you have all the Information on the table and your consultant has a plan you will Feel much better, we tend to go to the dark and think up some awful things but you will be okay. Not sure on your age but I'm 38 with a young family, when I went for my appointment on my own thinking it was nothing as the GP didn't seem worried I was absolutely floored when they told me I had BC but I did feel better when I went a week later and they had all the info and a plan.
Try and keep busy, get support from your family and friends. I hope your MRI results are positive ones, you are in the best hands
