Feel scared and lost

Am 72 and just diagnosed with breast cancer after biopsy, awaiting follow up and treatment plan appointment next week. I live on my own - my wonderful son has his own cancer problems and is 300 miles away - am lucky to have good friends locally but still feel alone. I thought I was a strong person but realise now Im not and am constantly anxious . I think it could help me to be in contact with others who have been on this path, and hope that at some point in the future I can help someone else. Just now I'm finding it hard to just get through the days until my appointment, let alone thinking any further.

I'm so grateful to anyone who might read or reply to this post.

Thank you

  • Hi Believe2,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    It is not unusual to feel alone with a cancer diagnosis, but now that you have found this forum, you need never feel alone again. There are a lot of great people here, who are happy to chat about anything and everything. Can I ask what type of cancer you have and whether or not you have any support from family or friends?

    Please keep in touch. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
