Hi Jo,

I went through all of that last year.  I won't pretend it was a picnic, but you will get through it.  xx

Hi there, I was diagnosed about the same time as you....it turns your world upside down, your future is threatened and you have to live in the moment, day to day and yes it it a struggle sometimes, I too am having a wobble, I am screaming inside. Why is it so hard to live in the moment, after all this moment is our life. Stay strong and talk about your feelings. It can be a very lonely place even when surrounded ny loved ones. 

Thanks for your reply my treatment plan has been changed as the lymph node biopsy came back positive so my mastectomy cancelled and ive had to have bone scan ct scan and breast mri scan had 2 breast clips insertex in tumours today and got appt nxt fri with oncologist to start chemo im staying strong and positive but nightimes are the worst lying awake feeling scared whats your treament plan? Good luck and take care x Jo

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. I am recovering from lumpectomy and mammoplasty and lymph node biopsy. They have prepared me for cancer being in my lymph nodes but results not back for a couple of weeks. My worst time was the first 2 weeks of waiting for Breast referral. Since being diagnosed I am just taking each day as it comes. I try to be positive and see friends and have fun. I sleep well so that's good. I have moments where I am overwhelmed by emotion and sadness, especially when doing stuff with my kids but I don't let them see that. That's all normal I think. A wobble is definitely ok. I can't advise you but I just want to to know I hear what you are saying. This is hard.

hi there, still waiting. pre op stuff and setinel node biopsy tomorrow, lumpectomy tuesday, the mri showed the tumor to be larger. why was your surgery cancelled? 

This is a difficult journey and a long one.

Hi sorry for late reply when my biopsy came back from lymph nodes in armpit it was positive too so they want chemo 1st to stop it spreading then do mastectomy i had bone scan ct scan on chest pelvic and abdomen they came back clear thank god the waiting for the results i find the worst part (at the moment anyway i know it will get worse)my husband said ive never seen you look as scared as that day and weve been together 20yrs with lots of hurdles to face but i was scared they would say its in your bones already so the relief was huge, although a few problems were found on scans they arent related to the cancer so not worrying about them yet. I start my chemo fri 2oth dreading how ill it makes you but want to get treatment started to get rid of it. I hope you are doing ok what stage are you at now? X
