@Leanne.T and [@agapanthus]‍ my heart goes out to both of you, I was diagnosed with breast cancer right at the beginning of covid, reading your posts takes me right back to the feeling of being completely out of control and thinking I was going to die. I too am the mother of 2 teenagers and was terrified for them, though my youngest was blissfully unaware as I only told him after it was over. I am now 22 months cancer free after a lumpectomy and radiotherapy. This period in your journey is the worst and like everyone else says once you know which type you have (before it happened to me I didn't know there were different types!!) and how they are going to treat it you have a bit more of an acceptance. Don't get me wrong the fear factor doesn't really subside until you fall out the other side. I am wishing you both all the best and have trust in the breast care team, they are brilliant.

Sending big hugs xx
