Hi I have just been diagnosed with stage 1 ductal invasive carcinoma after a mammogram because I was 50. I was referred to Edgware hospital for further tests after initial mammogram,The tests were not too bad apart from having to lie in an uncomfortable position on the table for the needle biopsy, I went back on 3rd February alone. I regret not having taken a friend with me, but I am taking a friend with me on 12th February when I will see the breast surgeon. And get the results of my second lot of tests. I am pooping myself! A cancer has been found in my left breast and I had to have the same tests on right breast because calcifications were found. The shock is slowly sinking in and my mind is like a soupy fog! I have not slept well since wednesday, I am fearing that cancer may be found in the other breast too! I have no partner to support me and I have no children. I have some good friends, but they are busy with their own lives and some have health problems too. I am so confused and tired! Any advice and support would be very much appreciated. I have told my brother and he sympathises with me. But I feel so alone. I nursed my mother with terminal cancer. I am finding it hard to be strong. And I need a damn good cry but I cant. Please help!
