Hi Suzypuff, welcome to the site. I am so sorry you had shocking news, it is awful when you actually hear the words I know.  The waiting is the hardest bit of all, nothing seems to happen fast enough, but do try to keep busy and I do hope you have family or friends you can talk about this with, it does help.

please try not to get too upset.  I know the mind works overtime and we naturally think the worst, but worry won't make any difference and Monday really isn't so far away.  I am the worlds worst worrier, so I know to say 'don't worry' is far easier said than done!

I expect you will get a few more lovely people to give you encouragement and support, but in the meantime, I send you all my best wishes and hugs xx

Hi,

I remember when I went through this, and how the very words breast cancer scared me.  All kind of things went through my mind, but with the help of friends, family and a fantastic breast care nurse I soon came to terms with the diagnosis and everything that went with it, and 2 1/2 years later I am back to work and very well.  Of course, it is scary and the waiting is horrible, but I think most people when they know the treatment plan feel better.

Take care, and please post on this site, there are lots of people who have been through the same, and will be able to support you.

Diane
