Hi M27,

I am very sorry to read about your diagnosis - you must be feeling terrible shock and worry which is totally normal.   Obviously I don't know your personal circumstances, but please know that Stage 2 (and 3) is definitely curable. That's going to be the goal for you and there's no reason why you won't get there.

i know, it's just the uncertainty of the next scan to see if it's spread and the stage may be worse, hopefully not though! thank you so much for replying i'm in a mes atm x

I know....it's a lot to take in....but you're stronger than you think and you will get through this.

i hope so xx

Hi Hun,

I was diagnosed with IDC in October Grade 3. Not the same as you but I can completely relate with how scared you are feeling. I'm 38 with two boys they are 10 and 13 so older than your but they depend on my completely and I'm their Rock.

I went to my appointment thinking it was a Cyst as the GP didn't seem Concerned, I actually went in my own and didn't even tell me mum. I just didn't think they would Say breast Cancer, they told me at my first appointment and confirmed it a week later.

I know that this time will be so hard, having Scans and waiting for results it mental torture, our minds do to the worst case scenario. I spent nights sat in the lounge wth my Dogs as I couldn't sleep.

You Lymph nodes are clever little things, They have done their job, stay positive that it's not spread any further, there is so much treatment available to you, you will be okay, we are young and strong and have no option but to Fight this will all you have.

once you have everything on the table you will feel much better. Your team will have a plan for you. 

This is a Bump in the Road, here if you need a Shoulder. 
love Sarah 

hi sarah 

thank you so much for replying you have definitely lifted my spirits a bit and i know i am not alone, i didn't expect it either especially with being so young, it makes it harder when you have kids because everything goes through your head

how are you getting on now? did you have chemo or surgery first? i'm terrified i have more scans to be done but as the plan stands ill be doing chemo, surgery & then radio. 

my mum had it at 47 and the chemo was awful i'm so scared about how ill be with my girls during that time! 

my youngest turns 2 in two weeks so we have a little caravan booked just going to try and enjoy as much as i can before it's all guns blazing! i'm just ready to start the fight this waiting stage is stressful isn't it xx

hi there 

thanks for replying, sorry your here too! it's really not a nice place but it helps a lot to read about people in similar situations and knowing your not alone 

im glad you cope well with the treatment i hope i'll be the same, my mum was the same with that one week ill deifnetley get help during that time, it's just all such a shock but i just hope with how far everything's came we can come out the other side stronger than ever! it's really evil i feel so sad & angry, worried i don't get to see my kids grow etc, just need to pray now the next scan comes back clear and it can be cured

wishing you the best , hollie x

Hi Hollie , keep strong, I know it's hard but nothing is gonna change where we are unfortunately! You have a lot to be strong for! I know it can be irritating when people say things like this and things like keep positive but my experience so far has shown me that the psychological part can be worse than the disease!  I have cried, been angry and yes the question why me but nothing changes where we are. 
just enjoy what you can and ask for help on yr low days coz we all have them.

you can do this. I am with you on having clear scans and having good treatment, praying for ya too! 
 

love Kiera xx

hello,

i know that's all you hear isn't it and yes it is really hard to be positive and strong but i hope that part will get better the more it sinks in, it's still so raw and every time i look at my baby's i want to burst into tears but at the same time they have kept me strong so far and always make me laugh, u never know by christmas time this might all be a thing of the past,

keep your chin up, hollie xx
