Feeling confused - newly diagnosed with breast cancer

I am so confused I got diagnosed with breast cancer on Thursday . I feel what else is going to happen to me . Bad childhood with two fathers . Couldn't have kids which I don't regret as we adopted to fantastic children . Now this first mammogram and I have breast cancer . I'm trying to be positive but my family are sad and I don't want that . I am a closed book who keeps emotions to my self . I have felt anger , sad , positive. All at once and on its own also down . Am I wrong to keep the sadness away ?

  • Hi te21, at least you know you are loved and cherished if your family are sad. However my advice is for you to sit them down and explain that you have too much on your plate to expend energy on bouying them up. You need your energy for you at this time. You will wear yourself out if you don't be a little selfish. You have every right just now to behave as you wish, it's your battle. I wish you well. I had all this over 12 years ago. It looks massive going in, and much smaller on the way out, I truly know that.
