So sorry to hear your diagnosis. Hope that your chemo goes well. It must be particularly scary to have a diagnosis of breast cancer when your children are so young and still need you to be there for them.
I am not at all surprised that you feel scared and I am sure that you have experienced a raft of other emotions too.
We are here to support one another, so let us know how you're feeling and we will walk with you along your cancer journey.
Hi Hussain, Firstly I am very sorry to hear your news. It is scary but with the help of your medical team you will get through it. What type of breast cancer is it. Have your medical team spoken to you about treatments for specific type, eg. hormonal, her2. You will need to ensure that you get support during the chemo treatment as it can leave you very tired and at risk of infection. Please get help from the breast care nurses who could put you in touch with voluntary groups who could offer support to your family.
Take care and I will be thinking of you.
