Primary breast cancer

Hi just wondering if anyone can help with how to cope with a diagnosis of primary breast cancer

  • Hi Yvonne.  I'm so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I was diagnosed on 19th April with a 44mm oestrogen + grade 1 cancer.  I have a 5 and 6 year old and im only 39. I lost my mum to this horrible disease in 2019 and I've found it very triggering. 

    I have coped by keeping things normal. Keeping busy and thinking positive. 

    I am just focused on getting to my surgery on 26th June.  Its been longer than it should have been because I needed extra MRIs and I need to come off the tamoxifen for 2 weeks before the op. 

    I wish you all the best. Keep us updated with how you get on. 

  • I have been to see my oncologist who has the results of the mri showing a 1cm lump on the other side of the same breast so I will now have to have another biopsy and ultrasound to check these out I’m still in shock I can’t eat and can’t stop shaking I can’t imagine how someone as young you as you are feeling and to not have your mam you sound strong that’s a good thing I wish you all the best .
